This is a mosquito monument and no one can tell me otherwise. Maybe the designer has never seen a bee? As of June 2025 - the monument has no head.

The Brzeźniczka Reserve was established in 1980. It is located in the central part of the Kozienicka Forest, along the Zagożdżonka River. It includes diversified oak and pine stands, as well as fragments of alder and riparian forests. Particularly valuable are the concentrations of Polish larch at the age of about 160 years, because they are the oldest specimens of this species in the Forest. The richly developed layer of undergrowth and undergrowth testifies to the natural origin of these forests. Protected plants: red helleborine, spotted orchid, wolfwort, juniper clubmoss. The area of the Brzeźniczka reserve is 120.64 ha, of which 30.34 ha in the Zwoleń Forest District.

Footbridge over the Pacynka - Trytwa. It allows you to drive through the puppet. Although its condition does not inspire confidence, it is possible to walk through it and carry a bicycle. When it is after heavy rainfall, the water level rises and the footbridge may then be under water. The water automatically covers the area of the footbridge and creates a large pool. However, this is a temporary inconvenience.

I reacted to the information from the user of "karakula" with a quick visit to this place. The footbridge is in place, although its condition does not inspire confidence, it is possible to cross it and carry a bicycle. Simply when it is after heavy rainfall, the water level rises and the footbridge can then be under water. The water automatically covers the area of the footbridge and creates a large pool. However, this is a temporary inconvenience.

Tourists visiting the Kozienice Forest District and a tourist site devoted to the history of beekeeping in the Kozienice Forest, the so-called "Bartny Kąt" may meet with a surprise. A few years after the bee monument was set up in this place, it began to require maintenance. The conservation works were carried out by the author of the sculpture, Mr. Mirosław Dziedzicki, for which we are very grateful. We invite you to see the bee monument in a new look. We would like to take this opportunity to inform you about other activities carried out by the Forest Inspectorate as part of the "Bees return to the forest" program. To the honey bee log, which was exposed in Bartne Kąta, we added two additional logs, which are waiting to be colonized by wild bees. If this does not happen, the logs will be colonized with bee colonies brought especially from the area of the Kampinos Forest. The forest inspectorate also continues activities related to the supply of honeyflow, ie the organization of a flower meadow and a "firehouse" composed of honey-bearing bushes. Other actions taken by beekeepers are also very much appreciated, consisting in changing the dates of care treatments taking into account the needs of beekeeping (e.g. changing the dates of weeding the quarters in a forest nursery, enabling bees to use flowering "weeds", e.g. dandelions, postponing early cleaning treatments to be used by bees to use flowering shrubs e.g. hawthorn, ivy).
