These include rapeseed, chestnut or lime blossom honey. All types of honey can be tasted and purchased. The beekeepers come from the municipalities of Ramstein-Miesenbach, Landstuhl, Weilerbach and Kaiserslautern. They will provide insights into beekeeping and present products from beekeeping such as wax, candles, soap, mead or propolis and pollen.

Live Concert at the Multi-Generation House Ramstein

The Multi-Generation House Ramstein hosts a concert with two bands starting at 8 p.m. The live band SOUTH-WEST-WIND is hard to beat in versatility. Own hard rock songs with a lot of political content take turns with ballads (love songs). Completely different is SMALL PINT, an excellent cover band from Kaiserslautern and the surrounding area. The musicians of SMALL PINT open the event and give the cover songs they play each with their own touch. It is going to be a fantastic music evening for lovers of different "worlds". Admission is free!
