Protecting the bees is a cause that we believe in very strongly. And to commit ourselves to this cause, ARCOTEL established an initiative called Give Bees a Chance. Since its launch in 2015, a small idea has since grown into an effective campaign that year after year provides financial assistance to bee conservation projects large and small in Germany and Austria to directly benefit the preservation of bee populations.

Small steps, big changes. That’s the idea behind the initiative. And that’s also how this campaign has continued to grow.

Good to know: For our little guests, there is a pocketbook with short stories about the adventures of Sina the Bee. Pick up your copy at the reception.
