Bee talks

You hear it more and more often: the bee is not doing well. Fortunately, attention is also growing for the importance of these indispensable insects. Bees play a crucial role in nature - as much as 80% of our edible crops depend on their pollination!

At Stad & Natuur, we don't just want to create awareness, but also stir up enthusiasm for the bee. That is why we organise the annual Bee Talks - educational and fun afternoons for young and old! In addition, on these afternoons you can also roll a beeswax candle for a fee (1 strip from Stad & Natuur or €2.50).

When.

Wednesday 3 June from 3 pm - 4 pm Wednesday 17 June from 3 pm - 4 pm Wednesday 1 July from 3 pm - 4 pm Wednesday 15 July from 3 pm - 4 pm Wednesday 29 July from 3 pm - 4 pm

What to expect? During the Bee Talks, volunteers from Stad & Natuur talk passionately about the life of the bee:

How is honey actually made?

How many flights do bees have to make for one jar of honey?

What are the differences between honey bees, bumblebees and wasps?

And... why are bees not scary at all?

You will also learn why more and more people with hay fever choose local honey: it contains traces of the pollen from the surrounding area, which can help reduce symptoms - a natural form of immunotherapy!
