What would THE BEE be without Bees? For the past 15 years this place has been know as ‘de Bijenstal’ – a imkerij 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.
