This polder mill was built in 1879 and drained the Vereenigde Groote and Kleine polders.
The mill, popularly called "De Hommel" because of its thick and short hull, was in operation until 1944.
In that year the polder was flooded by order of the German occupier. After the war, the mill became the housing for an electric pumping station.
In 1967 lightning struck and the mill burned down. The mill was restored in 1972 and 1991, largely preserving the charred wooden octagon.

The mill is called "Bumblebee Windmill" in Dutch due to its short, thick body.

In 1972, the name "De Hommel" was invented by the Zaanse miller C. Krijt sr. That is a nice idea, because of the thick and short body, but historically incorrect. In the polder archive, the designation "De Kleine Molen" is always used. The mill drained the Kleine Polder. Source: molendatabase.nl/molens/ten-bruggencate-nr-01775
