The scope of the museum’s exhibits is astounding!

Popular with young and old alike, The Kelvingrove Bees in their hive in the Environmental Discovery Centre live their lives daily in full view. You can observe the life cycle of these important little inhabitants as they fly out to gather nectar, produce honey and care for their queen and young.
