Building a Home for Wild Bees with Children's Hands

In this family workshop in Gelsenkirchen, parents and children experience quality time with wood, natural materials, and plenty of fun learning. On Saturday, September 5, 2026, a large wild bee hotel will be created in the neighborhood oasis – and each child will also take home their own small bee hotel.

Working Together, Wondering, and Understanding

The parent-child offering is aimed at children aged 7 and older and introduces nature, craftsmanship, and sustainable thinking in a playful way. With expert guidance, tapping, sawing, and creating will take place. This results in a family experience that fosters creativity, strengthens confidence in one's own abilities, and provides knowledge about insects and habitats along the way.

An Experience with a Sense of Nature and Sustainability

Wild bees are essential for many plants. That’s why the workshop teaches children, in a child-friendly manner, why nesting sites are important and how little helpers in the garden can be supported. For families, this becomes a lively approach to environmental education, exploration, and practical learning.

The neighborhood oasis at Bochumer Straße 110 is a green place to stay and learn right in Ückendorf. The back courtyard of the listed building has been transformed into a nature-friendly meeting place, providing the right setting for a calm, focused, and simultaneously lively family offering.

The workshop combines safety, educational value, and practical participation moments into a special morning for young and old.
