Bijenmuseum Diepenveen: a look inside a bee home

At Het Nieuwe Veld, a visit to a plant nursery takes an unexpected side path: a museum about bees and beekeeping. The small Bijoscoop adds moving images to what you see outside.

Plan your visit ↗

Living in different forms

The nursery describes bee colonies in different kinds of housing, including a hollow tree trunk and beehives. Compare the shapes and ask why a beekeeper chooses a particular type. Housing bees is thus a subject in its own right.

A hive for a better view

A demonstration hive is part of the described offering. Ask how you can view it without disturbing the bees. Following one part closely gives you more of a grip than trying to understand every movement at once.

The Bijoscoop

Educational films cover topics from the world of bees. Use such a film to carry a question from outside back in with you. The farm shop and tea garden are other parts of the same nursery; their opening hours do not have to match at every moment.

Before you go

Visiting hours are not confirmed consistently. Ask the nursery explicitly about access to the bee museum.
