01What the Honey Garden is

A green urban oasis

The Honey Garden is a singular space within the Dom kulture Silosi complex in Belgrade.

Once a neglected plot piled with rubble and rubbish, it is now, thanks to our parent organisation the GAIA movement, a green oasis with thousands of honey plants, beehives and space for events, education and rest.

In the shade of tall trees, on the bank of the Danube and only a kilometre from the city centre, a place has taken shape where nature, people and bees meet.

03What the garden holds

Six places in the same yard

It all stands on the same ground, and all of it is used during the programmes.

Inside the api chamber: timber planks, the beds and light through the window

The api chamber

A timber cabin with beds above live hives. Warmth, sound and the vibration of the colony come up through the openings in the planks.

Children queueing to look at the hive through the glass

The glass observation hive

A whole colony behind glass. Guests look for the queen while the bees carry on with their work.

The pallet amphitheatre and the BeeFe bar in the garden

The pallet amphitheatre

Pallet seating turned towards the middle. This is where you listen to the beekeeper and look at a frame of comb.

A screen stretched among the trees, and a screening once it gets dark.

BeeFe, the bar in the Honey Garden

BeeFe

Their own bar in the garden. Food and drink for guests and for events come from here.

The painted huts

The huts are painted with folk motifs. On the door there is a hexagon, the same shape the bees build inside.

05Possibilities

One place. Many possibilities.

Your event does not have to stop at hiring the space. The Honey Garden is part of Silosi Belgrade, so different spaces, features and activities can be tied into a single experience.

The Honey Garden

Events for up to 250 people amid greenery and the shade of tall trees.

Conference Space

Meetings, workshops and presentations in the open air.

BeeCenter

Beekeeping workshops, education and experiences that can give your event a completely different character.

Silosi

Climbing the Silosi, indoor spaces and extra features we can build into the programme.

From a business meeting or a workshop to lunch, a beekeeping experience or an evening cocktail, we can design the programme as a whole.

06Event organisation

You just come. We will take care of the rest.

An event in the Honey Garden does not have to mean hiring the space alone. Depending on what you need, we can take on the extra content and help you deliver the whole event in one place.

  1. Music and production

    A jazz or funk band, a DJ or acoustic music: our team can propose and book the performance to fit the concept and the budget of your event. When needed, we also provide the full technical production.

  2. Food and drink

    The BeeFe bar stands in the garden itself, with a carefully chosen drinks list served at events. Catering to measure, from cocktail bites and buffet spreads to pass-around service, we organise with our partners at New Balkan Cuisine.

  3. Production and organisation

    The different zones of the garden are adapted to the concept of the event and tied to the other spaces and activities of the Silosi.

From the space and the technical production to food, music and extra activities: the aim is that you just come, and we prepare everything else together with you.

09Friends of the Garden

The garden is not only ours

The Honey Garden began with the idea of giving one part of the city back to nature. In time a community grew around it, people who believe there should be more places like this, and for them we founded the Friends of the Honey Garden.

Members hear about events and activities first, join our actions, and help the garden grow and make more room for nature in the city. Membership is completely free.
