During today's visit, we collected the first honey samples of the season from a freshly filled honeycomb. Since bees constantly explore the surrounding area within a radius of several kilometers, they act as handy research assistants in monitoring the state of the environment. We collect honey samples from beehives throughout the summer and later our partner laboratory Apilab analyzes the samples for the DNA of flowering plants found in the surrounding area. This bee-assisted research method provides unique information about the biodiversity of the surrounding nature, the ecosystem health, and the food sources available to pollinators.
