THE MERCANTOUR BEES

We all know the domestic bee, its hive and its honey... But do we know that it is only a tiny part of the wild bees that inhabit our land? The European Park Alpi Marittime-Mercantour shelters more than 400 species of wild bees (which, for the Mercantour part, resemble more than 40% of the 1000 French bee species! ), some of which are very patrimonial, even threatened with extinction. This video, produced thanks to the Albert II of Monaco Foundation an funding and the Government of Monaco, and thanks to the scientific support of the specialist Matthieu Aubert, will introduce you to the fascinating world of wild bees, the diversity of their lifestyles and the efforts made by our protected areas to ensure their presservation.
