The Krakow Honey Harvest and Bee-keeping Festival is held every year during the first weekend of September on Plac Wolnica, a nice square located in the old Kazimierz district. Guests of the festival have a chance to taste different kinds of honey and to find amazing handcrafted products made from beeswax. The main goal of the Festival is to popularize knowledge about beekeeping and the natural environment in which bees live.
