Learn all about bees and beekeeping at De Bijenboerderij in the beautiful Markdal in Strijbeek. De BijenBoerderij is a renowned bee centre consisting of an apiary with a gestation garden full of pollen- and nectar-rich plants and a shop. You can choose from a number of interesting workshops (one day including coffee/tea and lunch per workshop):
Beeswax processing
Bees produce wax. You will harvest this and process it into beautiful wax blocks, for a new artificial street or to make your own sinks.
Bee Health
Bee colonies are exposed to all kinds of dangers and diseases, such as varoa mites and various fungal and bacterial diseases. During this workshop, you will learn to recognise, control and preferably prevent these.
Cooking workshop
Honey can be consumed pure, but it is also the raw material for many culinary delights. At de Bijenboerderij, you can learn how to make these delicious dishes.
Making beeswax cards
