With spring approaching, gardens and green spaces are slowly coming to life, offering the perfect opportunity to observe pollinators and create a welcoming habitat for them. The “Wekerle, természetesen!” (Wekerle, naturally!) event series continued with a session titled “Pollinators Are Our Friends”, focusing on the essential role of pollinators in our ecosystems and how to support them in urban gardens.
Our guest speaker, Dóra Kapisinszky, school beekeeper and garden designer, shared valuable insights on the different types of pollinators and the essential role they play in ecosystems. She highlighted the importance of overcoming fears and misconceptions about insects, learning how to coexist with them, and reacting appropriately to their presence. Drawing from her journey into beekeeping, she introduced participants to the fascinating world of bees, showcasing images and sharing practical advice on supporting their survival. She also brought a beehive, beekeeping tools, and bee-related products, allowing for hands-on exploration and informal discussions. She provided practical advice on attracting pollinators by selecting the right plants, choosing the best locations for planting, and maintaining pollinator-friendly gardens to ensure a balanced and sustainable ecosystem.
The program series continues to offer knowledge and inspiration for urban biodiversity, with further events coming soon.
