In the St. Veiter Stadtmuseum it buzzes and buzzes from 2 April. During the exhibition “130 years of beekeeping in St. Veit”, not only exciting exhibitions can be admired! The “Kroon” was already on the exploration tour.
“In the fall, the planning started with Christian Salzer, chairman of the beekeeping association and during the museum’s winter break, texts were written, designed and defined the content,” says Stefan Rainfelder, head of the St. Veit Museum.
45 million years old
Visitors can expect a journey through time from the first honey hunters in the stone era to the medieval healer to modern beekeeping. “The Carnica Bee Museum in Kirschentheuer will not be opened this year. Fortunately we have received a number of great exhibitions as a loan,” continued rainfelder. “One of the most important exposure is an approximately 45 million year old that was locked in a amber drop on the Baltic Sea. This peak can be beautifully viewed in a display case with a magnifying glass.”
Many different exhibitions are shown
Moreover, the state -owned company offered a show basis. “Images of a wide range of processes in the Bijenkorf are shown here. It is shown exactly what happens in a Bijenkorf”. The exhibition is also enriched with painted Bijenkorf Roerses Boots, an old mechanical honey umbrella board and wash figures and wax figures, which were often produced in the 19th century. “The production of baby washing characters was widespread in popular faith.”
Bee in art history is also discussed. “We present a Napoleon portrait where it is depicted as an emperor. His purple cloak is equipped with bees. Bees were and are not only important for us as honey suppliers, but were even considered a model in ancient times. So work for you after a strict hierarchy.
“The Bee Maja” also flies up
A project at the University of Frankfurt also offers an exciting insight. Videos of the inner life of a Bijenkorf are shown. Exciting processes such as taking pollen or feeding the breeding can be observed. But there is also an exhibition for reading foxes: a first edition of “The Bee Maja” from 1912 can be admired.
The exhibition can be seen from 2 April to 31 October 2025 in the St. Veit Museum. An experience that will fascinate both bee friends and nature lovers. A unique opportunity to get to know the wonder world of the bees in an exciting and interactive way, for all nature lovers, families, beekeepers and those who still want to become.
