In spring 2024, two bee colonies were introduced into the Campus garden, which also functions a public park, behind the BASE building for ecological and education purposes, in an effort to help preserve our natural environment and maintain the balance of nature.

The two bee colonies, the Tót and Mézga families, produce nearly 100 kilograms of honey, as well as propolis and beeswax annually, which can be used for various educational projects and creative activities. Community events centred around extracting these materials from the beehives and the honey harvests provide opportunities not only for the university citizenry but also for local schoolchildren to learn about beekeeping.

Honey varieties

Forest flower honey

The 2024 vintage MOME honey is a true representation of the Buda terroir, with a high mineral content, produced from honeydew, linden, and the pollen of plants blooming in the meadows of Normafa. It is delicious on its own, pairs excellently with cheeses, and makes a great ingredient for salad dressings and meat sauces. Available in a 200-gram jar, this delicacy is the product of the first honey harvest in June.

Honey harvest at the MOME: the two bee colonies produced 40 kg of forest flower honey!

At the MOME Campus, we recently had a honey harvest! Two bee families named Méz-ga and Tóték settled on the campus and diligently produced already 40 kg of forest flower honey over a month. With the help of certified beekeeper Tamás Kutasi, the university community extracted the 'MOME-honey' and collected beeswax and propolis during the first honey harvest.

Eco-conscious park development – Bee colonies moved into the MOME Campus

Functioning also as a public park, the eco-conscious MOME Campus garden is now officially home to a small bee population. By taking in two bee colonies – nicknamed the Tót and the Mézga Families – the MOME community contributes significantly to preserving the natural environment of the area.
