Give Bees a Chance

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 the bee Sina. Get your copy at the reception.

More Information

Bienchen Sina - The Game

At ARCOTEL Hotels, we are particularly passionate about protecting bees. Our initiative "Give Bees a Chance", which we launched in 2015, is the best proof of this. What began as a small idea has developed into an effective campaign that supports projects in Germany and Austria year after year, thus contributing to the preservation of the bee population.

As our newest project, we are now delighted to present "Little Bee Sina - The Game". Accompany Little Bee Sina through a colorful world of flowers and skillfully avoid obstacles. Just one touch with the numerous flower obstacles ends the game! Earn bonus points for every honey pot Sina finds.

The best part: You don't need to download anything, simply play directly in your browser! We hope you have a lot of fun with our bee game!
