About Bees & Bytes
With more than 30 million objects, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin houses a unique collection that is of great importance for current and future research questions. The museum will develop this unique resource in the upcoming years, with the aim of making it accessible to users worldwide and we want our visitors to participate in this project live within the exhibition.
In a first pilot project, the complete Hymenoptera collection (that is wasps, bees and ants) is currently being processed and digitally indexed. With about 2.3 million objects, it is one of the largest collections of the museum and includes bees, wasps, and ants. The collection includes valuable type specimens, already extinct species, and animals collected over a hundred years ago or across all continents. Especially with regard to the research on the currently observed bee and insect mortality, the collection is extremely important.
