What plants are pollinator magnets, and what should we do to create a bee pasture in our garden? These and similar questions were addressed by the Pollinator-Friendly Programme of the Hegyvidék Local Council, which has MOME as a partner. Visitors were treated to a special seed mix sale, engaging talks on the subject, and a peek into the MOME beehives.

Three MOME graduation films are competing at the Fresh Meat International Short Film Festival in Budapest: Wish You Were Ear by Mirjana Balogh, The Last Drop by Anna Tőkés, and Glasshouse by Kata Sárdi. Fresh Meat is the first festival in Hungary to be Oscar-qualifying, meaning winners in certain categories automatically gain eligibility for the prestigious award.

Established last year for ecological and educational purposes, the MOME Apiary has welcomed two new colonies: on 30 April, during Bee Day, the Mézengúz and Pempő families were added to the Tót and Mézga families, collectively benefitting the local ecosystem. The event was both a community celebration and a popular science educational experience, with participants able to harvest fresh fruit blossom honey.
