In celebration of World Bee Day, the National Garden bursts into life, colour, and youthful imagination with a special event dedicated to nature, care, and the power of small wonders. The area beside the children’s playground transforms into a dreamlike apiary landscape, ready to welcome children and parents for an evening filled with warmth, play, and plenty of sweetness. Children can see and touch honeycombs with their own hands, dress up as beekeepers in protective suits, and learn about the bees’ home—the hive—as well as the smoker tool.

The star of the evening is Chrysanthi, the brave little bee from the new children’s book by Lazaros Karaoulis, CEO of the City of Athens IT and Municipal Operational Units agency, titled “Chrysanthi: The Little Bee That Brought the Spring.” This tender story serves as a wonderful starting point for a conversation about nature, the vital importance of bees, and the immense impact even the smallest creature can have when acting with courage and love.
