We recommend for teaching about bees and biodiversity: the augmented reality app beeactive!

Beeactive is a digital geo-game in which students take care of virtual bee colonies and feed them with suitable plants in the environment. In order to use the plants to feed the virtual bees, they are photographed and identified using an integrated interface to the app Flora Incognita. The app opens up a playful approach to floristic species knowledge and combines this with factual knowledge about the ecology of bees as well as about important connections in living nature.

The app was developed by Prof. Jürgen Tautz (University of Würzburg) and beekeeper Florian Schimpf and is available for download free of charge.

Please note that Greenpeace's bees in primary school teaching material can be ordered from bildung@greenpeace.de.
