Which animals and plants are essential for our bees and where do they find their well-being on certain days and at certain times of the year?

It is not exclusively about the honey bee - the visitor also gets an insight into the exciting and very different life of the wild bee. Wild bees are the wild relatives of the honey bee and unlike honey bees, most wild bee species do not live in larger social groups. They usually fly through life as loners.
