THE APIARY
What would THE BEE be without Bees? For the past years this place has been know as ‘de Bijenstal’ – an apiary and bee keeping museum. When we purchased the property in summer 2021 just five bee colonies remained. It’s been a steep learning curve (and plenty of stings). Today the colonies are back to full strength and the honey is flowing. As the name THE BEE suggests, the apiary is playing a central role moving forward. We are working together with the National Beekeeping Association – Noord Holland and are looking at further developing the property into a regional hub for beekeeper and nature enthusiasts alike. Along the way we hope to play our part in protecting this amazing species. Amongst other projects,. we are planning to create a bee friendly garden with plenty of bio diversity.
From April to September, we offer an insightful and authentic beekeeping experience. In small groups, you’ll join a knowledgeable beekeeper and watch him at work up close, gaining fascinating insights into the world of bees. Each session lasts 40–60 minutes and is scheduled on Saturdays or available upon request.
Contact us for group enquiries and further information. We also host engaging workshops and proudly offer both basic and advanced beekeeping courses for all experience levels.
