Zaandam, 29 June 2010 - Beesies have rapidly conquered the Netherlands. During the past weeks, the popular and cuddly WK mascots have been disappearing from the Albert Heijn stores like hot cakes, and the supply is now virtually depleted. Beesie has amply proven his value as the ultimate World Cup mascot. This could be seen again when Orange advanced to the quarter finals after the match against Slovakia. When the Netherlands plays in the quarter finals this coming Friday, customers will receive a small Beesie gift with their purchase so they can show even greater support for the Dutch team.

Beesie – the greatest supporter of the Netherlands – has been popping up everywhere since the kickoff to the World Cup. Beesie has given countless football fans – young and old – the opportunity to show their support for the Dutch team in living rooms, schools, plazas and cafés.

Beesie has also put his best foot forward in supporting the Orange team online: on Hyves, Facebook, Twitter and Wikipedia, among others. Beesie has even been sighted on YouTube where football enthusiasts have placed videos with Beesie starring in the leading role. On Hyves, Orange fans have also made massive use of the opportunity to make their own Beesie supporter banners and to pimp their profile page in Beesie style. Beesie’s popularity among supporters can also be seen in the hundreds of photos on the special Flickr site and Twitter.
