Network
Our Network concerns itself with a small but very important world, the one of wild bees and pollinators in an urban context.
How does the establishment of an interdisciplinary network focused on the pollination crisis contribute to addressing this critical issue and what role do knowledge networks and multidisciplinary approaches play in this effort?

Symposia
Participate
Symposia
A symposium is a focused academic event where experts share opinions on a chosen topic in a formal setup.
How can the unconferencing approach, which encourages participant-driven dynamics and idea exchange, enhance the traditional symposium model and lead to tangible solutions in events?

Experience
BeeTotems
The creation of ‘BeeClans’ via BeeTotems, tailored for different native bee species in urban settings, creates biotopes and stimulates active participation among local residents.
How does the BeeTotem project combine sociological, ecological, and educational elements through performative acts, sculptures, and scientific research to transform the City into a temporary nature reserve for pollinators?

Case Studies
Our story unfolds in 2014 when scientific research revealed a surprising truth: wild bees not only survive but thrive in urban settings when compared to the countryside.
What methodologies are employed and what are the evaluation processes when creating case studies that support a entire range of RefuBees?

Bronze Furrow Bee
The Bronze Furrow Bee is difficult to spot, because of its small size, however it’s one of the most common wild bee species in this country.
Rampion Scissor Bee
What makes it interesting is that this bee is oligolectic, meaning it is dependent on only one particular plant species for its pollen and nectar.
Orange-vented Mason Bee
These solitary bees are widespread but rare. They are oligolectic, pollen specialists which are restricted to one plant genus or plant family.

BeeCircus
The BeeCircus embodies the philosophies of positivity and open-mindedness, aiming to unite and inspire individuals concerned about our world’s future.
How does the BeeCircus utilise ‘infotainment’ as a means of raising awareness and promoting active participation in local communities, and what is the broader impact it aims to achieve through this unique approach?

Awareness and instructions
Education
In the sphere of education, considerable resources have been dedicated to organising symposia, creating bee performances and circus acts, delivering lectures, fostering networking, and, notably, instituting enduring, hands-on programs tailored for students in numerous educational institutions.
How can the Bee Totems and Sidewalk tiles be utilised to encourage individuals to recognise their integral role in the natural world and empower them to actively contribute to environmental preservation, particularly through educational programs?

FAQ
Understanding
FAQ
Once upon a time in the enchanted forest of EcoVille, the animals decided to form the “Fellowship of Animal Questions” or FAQ for short. It all started when a squirrel named Sammy asked a question that left everyone baffled. ‘Why do insects suffer harm when they drink groundwater?’ he inquired, scratching his furry head.

Critical observation
Press
In a picturesque European village plagued by peculiar headlines in the local paper, ‘The Polder Echo,’ a resident named Dirk learned to read between the lines. One day, an article titled ‘River Mystery” caught his attention, describing unusual froth and disappearing fish. Dirk’s intuition kicked in, and he realised the pollution problem was hidden in plain sight.
