“Geert has a very nice bee village near the Gite, where we and the group could enjoy what he has created there. The bee village is located in a small valley and a stream flows along it. There you can view different hives in terms of size and use. Geert also uses predatory mites to “combat” Varroa
We placed the bees that we had “left” in a hollow tree, this was worth it in itself.
Geert prefers to work without a beekeeper suit and that is still a step too far for me, but I have learned a lot from being there how he deals with the bees. With so much respect and love. Geert is beekeeping in Warré beehives and makes them himself. These are adjustments of the existing dimensions of Warre such as the wood thickness of 3 cm, the placement of the viewing windows and the flight hole. Personally, this weekend was a revelation for me and is definitely worth repeating.
Several things have become clear to me and questions have arisen about others. You can go to Geert with all your questions and will try to find a solution and/or answer. ”
