Geocache Description:

Old cache placed 11 November 2001 - More than twenty years ago!

 "A REGULAR size citycache that is not too hard to get"

A good starter if you planning on going to Stockholm. 

PLEASE: BE CAREFULL IF YOU LOVE YOUR COINS/TRAVELBUGS.
THIS CACHE GETS MUGGLED EVERY NOW AND THEN!


!  


Regarding cache size: This cache was placed as a regular. It´s been the goal to keep it as a regular at all times. But since it's been muggled/destroyed more than +40 times (2024) the new boxes can vary a bit, please have this in mind. And please try to retrive and rehide as smooth as possible to let this oldie live. The cacher TRANG in Stockholm helps me maintain this cache and he is a true HERO. Many thanks!
 

Humble Bee - Stockholm starting cache

Me (Buda) and Jennie (Kite) placed this cache during a November-weekend in Stockholm 2001
when we were around a lot and tried to find other caches. We stayed at a nice hotel nearby
and all we did that weekend was caching (and drinking nice red wine...)

The cache was from the start an normal tupperware box containing a small CD-rom and a bunch of other things. And a log book and a pen of course.

This cache is placed"between Ecuador and a well known park" in the city center of Stockholm, Sweden. The name of the cache will guide you, however the name is not 100% right... :)

For a long time the most logged in Sweden.

Have a nice day in Stockholm!

2023 - Name sadly changed from the original cache name to the more lame "Humlegården"... (for whatever reason?)


Picture from kylamees

Note: Even if this cache is really old and have been active for a long time, it is NOT:
-
 "the first in Stockholm"
- and since a few years not the most logged anymore
- "the oldest in Sweden still active"
