Behind the Base building

In spring 2024, two bee colonies were introduced to the campus garden, which also functions as a public park, behind the BASE building for ecological and educational purposes, helping preserve our natural environment and maintain the balance of nature.

In 2025, two additional colonies were added to the MOME Apiary: The Mézengúz and PempÅ‘ families joined the Tóté and Mézga families. As before, the new hives were made in the university’s Wood Workshop, and once again, students were invited to name the colonies. 

The four colonies produce nearly 200 kilograms of honey each year, along with propolis and beeswax, supporting a range of educational projects and creative activities. Community events linked to the honey harvest also give not only students and staff, but also local school and nursery groups a first-hand introduction to beekeeping.
