Pollination Week 2021 was a BUZZ!
To reach out during the pandemic year Pollinate Europe developed an outdoor exhibition with portraits of different pollinators – like solitary bees, bumblebees, butterflies, hover flies, bugs and the honeybee,. Photographer Lena Granefelt caught the insects in their natural environment.
The exhibition, in Swedish called “SURR!” (BUZZ! in Swedish), was put up in the center of Stockholm and in the orchards of Kiviks Musteri in southern Sweden. The opening day was the first day of the Pollination Week. Both premises are visited by large numbers of people during the summer. 2021–2022 SURR! will develop further and move on to new interesting locations.
Pollination Week May 16–24, 2020
Through coordinated events we have developed a campaign called Pollination Week that takes place at the second part of May every spring. Our concept is growing from year to year and has the ambition to become an important event for citizens all over Sweden, and eventually also the Nordic countries and Europe.
During this week also World Bee Day and International Day for Biological Diversity take place.
