I just discovered this post and your substack, love to read about a fellow beekeeper (I'm in the Netherlands)! I took the course last year - they let us take our "course-volkje" with us upon completion and I remember that same terrifying car drive home 😅 But all went well, we're having our first honey this year!
Bees are so fascinating! We just had a colony removed from the eastern side of my house just underneath the roof, near the leaky hose. Now I see why they liked that spot. Looking forward to hearing more about your bees and any art that might emerge as well. 🐝
Aren’t they! That’s amazing you could get that colony removed, thank god. They can get into some very tough places. I didn’t add any art this time because I felt it’d make the email super long but I think I just will next time, regardless. Thanks for reading and commenting 🤗

Oooo congratulations! Where in the Netherlands are you? I live in Geel, in Belgium 😊
Thank you! I'm in Amsterdam 🤗
