On 20th of May 2021, I presented my archeologic excavation results to 6 residents of Almere on the Almere-poort beach.

During one month, I found 4 wax secretion in the same geological layer of some drinking caps made in the 30s of last century. Those objects prove the existance of beelobster (Homarus Antophilia) before Afsluitdijk was built in 1932. 

​The beelobster is a special lobster which can excrete wax to communicate with each other. Because of that they are named beelobster. The last time they were founded by human being was 18th century.
