Little beekeeper in Dragun: honey miracle and big bee adventure!

In the daycare center "De Lütten Ackschnacker" in Dragun, there is an exciting project that allows the children to dive into the world of bees and honey. Maja, the daughter of the experienced beekeeper Martin Burghardt, recently learned the art of unknocking honeycomb together with her friends. An experience that aroused the excitement and curiosity of the children and introduced them to the secrets of bee life. Nordkurier reports that…

beekeeper Martin Burghardt, who has been doing the job for three generations, has been visiting the daycare center for three to four years and always brings the necessary materials. Together with Dörte Petzsch, another beekeeper, they show the children how the mature honeycombs are freed from their wax caps so that the delicious honey can be extracted. The process of unknocking is not only instructive, but also a little demanding, since the wax caps have to be carefully removed in order to win the honey clean. In this way, the children learn how valuable the work of the bees is and how they produce the honey.

The art of unknocking

Various tools that Martin and Dörte show the children are used when it is elin. From the simple fork to the discovery of discovery - every method has its advantages, but also its challenges. According to the information on bees and nature, it is not only craftsmanship, but also a small art form that requires precision and patience. While some devices are affordable for the hobby beekeeper, others are intended for the professionals and cost a few euros more.

The children were banned by the process that made it possible to win the liquid honey, which they could expect from field bean, raspberry and forest. After the unknown, the honeycombs were put in a honey slingshot, and in the end a fresh summer blossom honey result could be admired. In total, the children filled 32 glasses of honey together with Martin and Dörte, who are now proudly presented in the daycare center.

education through bees

This workshop is not only fun, but also part of a larger concept that deals with nature education. Programs such as that of full day MV offer students the opportunity to learn from scratch through the way of life of the bees and discover sustainable practices. Here a valuable awareness of bee protection and the important role of these insects in our ecosystem is created. By direct participation in the care process of a bee people, the children learn a lot about the way of life of the bees and the importance of food.

beekeeper Martin Burghardt is convinced that such a commitment to young generations in this area is crucial. "The local beekeeping associations urgently need offspring," he says, showing again how important it is to pass on knowledge and passion for beekeeping to the upcoming generation. Maja already shows a lot of talent and skill in dealing with the honeycombs and will certainly learn a lot about the fascinating world of bees.
