  abstract = {Bees are significant contributors to our diverse flora, as they pollinate plants and trees. In addition to honeybees, their “wild sisters” provide further support with this task. Unlike honeybees, they lack protective beehives and the care of beekeepers. According to numerous reports, habitats of wild bees are increasingly threatened, and some bee species are already extinct. The consequences for crops are detrimental. Theoretical models from environmental psychology provide a solid foundation for developing effective and sustainable interventions for protecting wild bees. Their impact can be increased by combining them with digital media to reach a young target group. Keeping the improvement of their living conditions in mind, users might interact with a wild bee in an ecologically considerate manner through a mobile app. In the safety of a virtual space, they can see the consequences that their actions in real-world project workshops would have on a wild bee. Through such an approach, future farmers may be encouraged to be more selective in their use of pesticides, and prospective gardeners may choose insect-friendly flowering plants. Hence, combining the environment with an app has a high potential to initiate lasting societal changes.},
