Step Into the World of Bees
Discover, experience and taste the fascinating world of bees.
Join Holland Bijen for a hands-on bee workshop where you can get closer to a real bee colony than ever before.
Inside the hive
Put on your protective clothing and, together with the beekeeper, open a real hive. See the bees at work, look for the queen, discover the brood and experience the unique smell and atmosphere of a living beehive.

Every participant receives a small jar of honey as a gift.
