Organic Bees on the Danube Island

From 2021 to 2024, the Danube Island was home to up to 50 bee colonies.

Diverse habitat for wild bees

The various species of wild bees in particular require very specific nesting sites and food supply.

Over the past years, a range of measures has been implemented to create species-rich habitats and niches on the Danube Island, which has been particularly beneficial for insects.

This includes sowing species-rich meadows, creating steep walls and planting orchards and the climate gardens featuring native trees and hedges.

Managing meadows extensively and leaving deadwood also contributes to the creation of new habitat for wild bees.
