The Beekeeping Museum is located in a modern building bordering on the Kalmhout Moorland (Kalmhout Moorland). An opportunity to discover the enchanted world of wax, honey and busy bees. The interactive exhibition has something to suit every taste, adopting an innovative and comprehensive approach to telling the fascinating story of the honey bee: what it was like in days of yore, how contemporary beekeepers set about harvesting the purest honey and what the future holds in store for humankind and the bee kingdom. The transparent cases allow you to get right up close to the tiny buzzing creatures.
Adults and children are welcome on Saturdays and Sundays, Belgian public holidays and school holidays, from 1 pm to 5 pm, without any need to make an appointment. A short documentary video about honey bees helps put you on the right track, while a museum guidebook will answer any questions you might have.
Billie de Bij (Billy the Bee) is fun mini-case containing a costume, assignments and games for children aged 4 to7. To be used in the museum (€3).
The museum guidebooks will make your visit an unforgettable experience. A customised guided visit may be requested for groups of 5 to 50 people. The visit is particularly suitable for schools, associations, family groups and staff outings. The visit can be rounded off with a taste of mead or honey.
