Seven different hives are presented in a secure way (through windows) to show the lives of bees.
You will see:
- Modern hives
- Hives specially made so that you can discover the Queen
- Old hives,
- Wild ones.
Ideally built, some hives let you see the queen laying and see the workers responsible for pollen to indicate the location of other flowers.

The beekeeping is discussed thoroughly:
- The history of beekeeping is told here,
- The rituals of some civilizations are explained,
- Egyptians hive workers on the Nile and the throws of hives during mediaeval attacks are presented.

At last, a journey of discovery set in a park put you into the world of these tireless foragers.
