“Because it is basically a hotel for insects and bees and had a group of kids with me as well to build up the racing car.”
During the lockdown in 2020, ahead of the F1 season, Vettel took up a course on agriculture and farming. What’s more, he further practiced it outside his home in Switzerland, which eventually led him to the path of saving the bees.
Vettel reveals the ideology behind the ‘bee hotel’
The 4-time world champion opened up that his scope is to build more space for insects, with his primary focus resting on bees.
“So, yeah, the idea behind this is to create a little bit more space for insects and especially, in particular, bees to have more space where they can flourish and live,” he said.

“So, it’s in the middle of a field. We took a lot of seeds out and hopefully, there will be lots of flowers growing in the future and a lot of bees coming to their new home.”
