A journal that invites you to slow down.
A creative and educational space where the world of wild bees meets art and mindfulness.
About the project
This journal was born from a desire to return to simple forms of creativity — the kind that help quiet the mind and reconnect us with the joy of the creative process.
It was created in collaboration with artist Kasia Sułek, wild bee experts, and Diana Dyba, founder and creator of Together for Bees.
Every page has been thoughtfully designed as an invitation to create — without pressure, without the need to achieve a “perfect” result, and with complete freedom to explore and interpret in your own way.
Our philosophy
The journal is an invitation to an experience where the process matters more than the outcome.
A moment of focus.
The feeling of paper beneath your hands.
A return to childlike creativity.
A way to reconnect with nature — through art.
The journal also comes with a set of colourful stickers — yours to use, combine and place wherever your creativity takes you.
What makes our journal special
Creativity
Kasia Sułek’s illustrations create a visual world inspired by nature and wild bees. Every page is an invitation to explore, create and make it your own.
Education
Fascinating facts about wild bees have been developed and reviewed in consultation with experts, bringing knowledge together with creativity in a light and intuitive way.
Play
The journal includes interactive elements for cutting out, arranging and creating. One of them lets you “dress up a bee” using interchangeable wings and body parts — a playful way to discover the diversity of wild bee species while learning through creativity.
Calm
This is an analogue space — made for coloured pencils, paints, markers or a simple pencil. A place to work with your hands, slow down, quiet the mind and bring your thoughts back into focus.
Complete your Bee Wild Journal with Field Notes
Bee Wild Field Notes is a natural extension of the Bee Wild mindfulness journal — a separate sketchbook created entirely for your own ideas, observations and creative work.
While the Bee Wild journal guides and inspires you through illustrations, creative activities and the fascinating world of wild bees, Field Notes gives you complete freedom.
Its blank pages are all yours.
Fill them with sketches, drawings, notes, thoughts and observations from nature. Record what you notice in your garden, draw a flower or a wild bee, capture an idea before it disappears, or simply experiment with lines, shapes and colour.
There are no exercises to complete and no rules to follow. This is a space where you decide what happens next.
Your observations. Your ideas. Your creativity. Your pages.
Together, Bee Wild Journal + Field Notes create a space for inspiration and creative freedom — first inviting you to discover, and then giving you room to explore in your own way.
Stay curious. Create freely. Bee Wild.
WHY WILD BEES?
Wild bees are a vital part of our ecosystems — yet they often go unnoticed.
At Together for Bees, we see them as more than just a subject of environmental education. They are a starting point for building a deeper awareness of and connection with the natural world.
Through art, observation and play, we discover their world in a way that feels light, accessible and inspiring.

Bee Wild in Switzerland
The German-language edition of Bee Wild – Drück dich kreativ aus made its first public appearance in Switzerland during the 1st Forum of Polish Organisations in Switzerland, organised by the Polish-Swiss Institute of Culture and Education with the support of the Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Switzerland.
It was a special moment where culture, education and art came together — and the first opportunity to introduce Bee Wild to an international audience.

Bee Wild later travelled to Basel, together with the Great Exhibition of Bees – We Are All Connected.
The journal was presented during the opening of Atelier Notka — a creative space designed for encounters with artists, workshops and beautifully made objects, including selected pieces from the Together for Bees collection.
