Experience the enchanting world of bees!

Upon arriving at the workshop location, you'll receive a warm welcome from Hubert and his team. The session will kick off with a theoretical introduction to beekeeping, covering topics like hive functioning, seasonal aspects, types of insects, and their roles – everything you need to know about bees!

Afterwards, it's time to gear up in beekeeping suits for the exciting second part of the workshop: a guided tour of the beehives! The skilled artisans will lead you through the discovery of these fascinating structures, offering behind-the-scenes insights, including the opportunity to open one of the hives.

The workshop will conclude with a delightful tasting of honey and other bee products – a truly indulgent moment!

You'll leave with a wealth of knowledge about bees and a strong desire to protect them in your daily life.

NB: For this workshop, we recommend dressing appropriately with long-sleeved tops, long pants, and closed-toe shoes.

Practical information

During this workshop, you'll be outdoors, in close contact with the bees! It is, therefore, highly recommended to bring a water bottle per person and dress accordingly: long-sleeved tops, long trousers and closed-toe shoes.

Beekeeper

Hubert grew up in the countryside and had a very happy, fulfilled childhood. He later moved to a city to pursue his studies and quickly realised how disconnected people are from nature. It was a shock and marked the beginning of his vocation!

He worked as a teacher for around a decade but then decided to go back to what made him happy: being in contact with nature. It was at this time that he changed direction and trained as a beekeeper. He then launched his current endeavour, which allows him to combine his two passions: education and beekeeping. Today, he owns two apiaries: one in Uccle and one in Jumet.

His current wish is to reconnect everyone with nature and raise awareness of bees' needs. But what he likes most of all is sharing his knowledge and ecological approach! An extremely attentive teacher with a great sense of humour, he'll show you all the ins and outs of his craft.

J’ai beaucoup aimé l’experience. C’est une introduction au monde des abeilles et au travaille d’apiculteur pour soigner la ruche chaque semaine.

Seriously weird and cool workshop, nothing like seeing thousands of bees working to get an appreciation for honey. Instructor was very friendly and knowledgeable. Can very much recommend!
