If you’re looking for a museum that has a real buzz about it, this is the one for you. Bees play a central role in the national identity, with even the word for friend in Lithuanian sharing the same etymology as the word for bee. And over the centuries, the sweet nectar of the bee has been put to great use for everything from candles to sweet treats. Learn how bees were protected from bears, see the mythological sculptures of the god and the goddess of bees, and maybe even submerge yourself in some honey aromatherapy. Bee there, or bee square.
