Deutsches Bienenmuseum Weimar, Bee museum in Weimar, Germany.
The Deutsches Bienenmuseum Weimar is a bee museum in Weimar, Germany, displaying more than 1500 objects including documents, photographs, and artifacts. This collection documents the development of beekeeping across several centuries.
Ferdinand Gerstung founded this educational institution in 1907, making it the first museum in Germany dedicated to beekeeping. This founding marked the beginning of systematic documentation of beekeeping history.
The museum displays traditional craftsmanship through decorated beehives and maintains active observation hives in its garden for educational purposes.
The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday with shorter hours during winter months and extended hours in summer. Visitors should note that accessibility can vary depending on the exhibition and season.
In a courtyard side room sits a wax hammer from 1637, one of the oldest preserved beekeeping tools in Germany. This rare piece shows the craft techniques used centuries ago in honey and wax processing.
