3Bee Technological Hive Adoptions

I am part of 3Bee's 'Oasis of Biodiversity' project. You can adopt one of my hives. This project allows me to regenerate biodiversity by caring for bees using innovative technologies developed by 3Bee. Here you can choose to adopt your hive from a distance and I will take care of it using the best techniques.

My history

Always fascinated by an old honey extractor in the warehouse, in 2014 I decided to resume the activity that my father and some friends had undertaken as a hobby in the 1980s. My small company is home to 20 families of Apis Ligustica, the Italian breed par excellence, and is located in Vallerano, among the centuries-old chestnut groves of Monte Cimino. The bees produce chestnut, lime and millefiori honey. I loved the complexity of bees right from the start, making Petronius's words in the Satyricon my own: 'As for bees, I consider them divine beasts: they vomit honey that is said to have been received as a gift from Jupiter. On the other hand they sting, because where there is sweet you will also find bitter'. Since 2014, many steps I have taken together with the bees, and much I have grown thanks to them. If I look at a field today, I think about how many and which flowers will bloom there. If I see a bee, I try to understand in which direction the hive is located. Understanding that behind a jar of honey is a complex world, a self-sufficient superorganism, challenged today by intensive cultivation and climate change, is the greatest gift bees have given me.
