SUMMARY:Hortus Beekeeper Tour
DESCRIPTION:Nature is different again at every part of the year. The bees follow the seasons\, and the beekeeper follows the bees. \n\nAt each meeting\, we examine what is happening outside\, how this influences the behavior of the bees\, and how the beekeeper responds to this. This means that at every meeting\, we take a walk through the Hortus focusing on the activities of the bees. In addition to attention to honey bees\, we will also always look at wild bees and hoverflies\, bumblebees\, and wasps. In bad weather\, part of the time will be spent on a lecture or workshop indoors. \nParticipation: €5 plus Hortus entrance (Museum Card free Hortus entrance). Advance registration required.
