In a move that extends its mission of environmental education, the pedagogical bee station originally created by the Monaco Pavilion has been donated to the Nabata group in Japan. The station, designed to highlight the importance of bees and pollinators, has now been integrated into a café specializing in honey, ensuring its educational role continues amid growing global concerns over biodiversity loss.
The initiative aligns with the longstanding environmental commitments of the Prince Albert II Foundation and the Monaco Pavilion. By repurposing the station in this way, it serves as a new chapter for the educational tool, promoting awareness about the protection of pollinators and the broader ecosystem. The café, named Café & Grocery B * HONEY, is located at 3 Chome-20-20 Toyosaki in Osaka's Kita Ward, providing a public space where visitors can engage with these themes while enjoying honey-focused offerings.
This development, announced recently by the Monaco Pavilion, underscores the international reach of Monaco's sustainability efforts, bridging European initiatives with community-based projects in Asia.
