Honingbank - International art project to raise awareness about the importance of bees

This art project was initiated by French artist Olivier Darné, along with art collective Parti Poétique, and commissioned by Stroom Den Haag. This project invites the public to "invest" money into the future of bees and beekeeping.

The Honingbank (Honey Bank) mediates between humans, city and nature to bring them closer together. Therefore the purpose of the Honingbank is not so much to make honey or to raise money, but to inform and raise awareness about the crucial role that bees play in the production of food and the maintenance of biodiversity. The money invested in this Bank is used to inform the public and to fund different activities like keeping beehives, pollination chambers and a Queen Bank in order to protect the future of bees in the cities.
