Close-up ingang bijenkast - The entrance of a wooden bee hive

Op 9 juli 2011 was er een open dag in de bijenstal van Bijenhoudersgilde St. Ambrosius in het Brabantse dorp Made. Het is al sinds 9 november 1714 (!) een echt gilde.
Het was heel interessant en leerzaam om alle kennis over 'de bloemetjes en de bijtjes' weer eens op te halen en uit te breiden. Wist je bijvoorbeeld dat werkbijen maar een werkzame periode hebben van drie weken? Daarna sterven ze, uitgeput als ze dan zijn van het verzamelen en transporteren van de honing...

On July 9, 2011, there was an open day at the apiary Beekeepers Guild of St. Ambrose (since November 9, 1714 a real guild) in the Dutch village of Made.
It was very interesting and instructive to pick up and expand my know how about 'the flowers and the bees'. Did you know that worker bees have only an active period of three weeks? Then they die, exhausted as they are due to collecting and transporting the honey...
