The little bees and the little flowers

The Gluren bij de Buren XL edition brought the #StrijpTcommunity by bike to the Philips Fruittuin to see how the StrijpT bees of Strijp-T beekeeper Dirk De Brouwere - Hendrikse are doing.

Due to the enormous supply of blossom, the Strijp-T bees are staying for a few weeks with Carlos Faes of the Philips Fruittuin, after which they will soon move back to StrijpT. This means that this year we will have extra StrijpT-honey available.

In addition to an explanation from Dirk, Carlos explained in what sustainable, innovative and creative way he operates the Philips Fruittuin and provides tasty apples, pears and plums. Thanks to the bees, this yields a better harvest. A nice example, then, of literal and figurative cross-pollination.

Highly recommended and worth repeating. Will you be THERE next time too?
