XXL-Bienen-Landmarkt Uslar

Bees, Education, and Encounter

The XXL-Bienen-Landmarkt in Uslar originated from the initiative to celebrate the United Nations' World Bee Day on May 20th with a community-focused event in the region. The market is the largest and most comprehensive edition of the regular Uslar markets and places the topic of bees and biodiversity at its center.

Science and Practice Meet

Researchers from the University of Göttingen present their work on wild bees, pollination services, and biodiversity. Beekeeping associations from the region showcase their craft, bring beehives, and advise interested visitors on beekeeping. Honey tastings, sales of regional honey, beeswax products, and beekeeping supplies complement the offerings. Guided walks to blooming areas in Uslar provide practical insights into local nature conservation.

Family Program Around Honey and Nature

With craft activities, bee games, honey cakes, and a special children's program, the market is a destination for families. The police, fire department, and DRK present their emergency vehicles and impart knowledge about safety and first aid in interactive formats – an offering that is particularly popular with children.

In the Heart of the Solling Town

The venue is the square in front of the Old Town Hall in Uslar, with its historic half-timbered backdrop. The city center becomes a lively meeting point during the market – cafés and restaurants invite visitors to linger, and the downtown shops use the market atmosphere for special promotions.
