DWeb Camp 2026

The Tree of Life: Insects!
2026-07-09 , Kinderopolis

Each day at KINDEROPOLIS, children will explore the natural surroundings at Alte Hölle and the "Tree of Life."


Each day we will focus on a different class of the Animal Kingdom (Animalia). We will highlight the interconnectedness and cooperation that is important to all life on Earth: from insects, birds and mammals big and small, including us!

Over the course of our time together at DWeb Camp, we will grow the “The Tree of Life” and consider our "kinship" with nature. We will also welcome special guests to present and take a few field trips around Alte Hölle!

I am a Tanzanian beekeeper, api-tourism guide, apitherapy practitioner, and community educator. I am the founder of African Bees Consultants, an organization dedicated to representing Africanized bees as a force for ecological resilience and economic justice. Our work is built on three pillars: conserving African forests through beekeeping, eliminating poverty in local communities through commercial beekeeping, and connecting African producers with international markets. I offer api-tourism experiences, apitherapy treatments, beehive air inhalation sessions, and bee consultation services — blending ancestral knowledge with modern ecological practice. I also serve as a board member of The Lulu Foundation, an international NGO based in California that supports community-led innovation across Africa. My work is grounded in the belief that African bees — and the communities who tend them — hold solutions the world urgently needs.
