Great Exhibition of Bees
Institute of Industrial Design in Warsaw
8.08.-10.09.2023
Welcome to the “Great Exhibition of Bees” – an event born from the idea of Diana Dyba, a passionate advocate for nature conservation. This extraordinary event was launched as part of the social project “Together for Bees.”
We invite everyone to view all the works of the “Great Exhibition of Bees” to discover this beautiful world, get inspired by art, and join efforts to protect bees.
“Together for Bees” – our planet and future generations will surely thank us for it!
The exhibition features works by 82 talented artists who have depicted the bee in their unique style, highlighting its diversity and beauty.
Each of the artistic bees is adopted by responsible brands, which, in turn, support the protection of wild bees and promote biodiversity. This beautiful combination of art and community engagement brings real benefits to our precious bees and the environment.
By visiting this exciting exhibition, participants can feel the artists’ immense dedication and passion in creating these works, as well as understand the crucial role bees play in maintaining the balance of nature.
The “Together for Bess” project has received tremendous support from the local community and businesses, demonstrating that bee conservation is becoming an important goal for all of us.
The Great Exhibition of Bees is a unique combination of art, social engagement, and care for our planet. It is proof that, together, we can bring about positive changes for our nature and wild bees.

During the opening of the Great Exhibition of Bees, which took place on the very day of Great Bee Day, August 8, 2023, guests had the opportunity to see live works created by the bee patrons, i.e., responsible brands that took a selected artistic bee under their care. By placing the bee on their product, these brands support wild bees by sharing a portion of the product’s sales profits with the Wytwórnia Inicjatyw Twórczych Foundation. The artist whose bee was adopted by the brand also receives compensation.
The Great Exhibition of Bees was made possible thanks to the following partners:
Exhibition co-organizer: Industrial Design Institute
Exhibition partners: Wytwórnia Inicjatyw Twórczych
Educational materials prepared by Mrs. Martyna Walerowicz from Pismo Pasieka
During the opening, guests were treated to refreshments funded by the Bracia Sadownicy company and the Kukułka bakery.
A big thank you to everyone!
