Wabe3 is a young and innovative Zurich apiary. Their bee colonies are placed on unused flat roofs that enjoy spectacular views of the city of Zurich.

Experienced beekeepers explain the fascinating life of bees in a colony and demonstrate some of the key basics directly at the hive. The event’s highlight is tasting honey straight from the honeycomb.
