Aquilini Nicolò

Lombardia, IT

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

The farm is located in Valtellina, it was born from my passion for bees discovered in 2019 after a few years of observation and study of bees and the surrounding environment the families have grown in number. Hence the need to find comfortable environments for the bees where to make different types of honey, I mainly have 3 locations, a fixed one at 1100m where the bees are well all year round and in summer there are blooms such as raspberry and higher up the rhododendron that the bees like a lot and give excellent honey. In the lower valley I have an apiary for overwintering in the sunny slopes of the Rhaetian Alps where the bees have an excellent spring recovery thanks to blooms such as dandelions and cherry trees. In May I practice nomadism towards the opposite side of the valley at the foot of the Orobian Alps where I have an apiary more suitable for honey production in a forest of robinia and chestnut trees, cooler and shadier in the summer where the bees can produce acacia and millefiori honey with a high presence of chestnut trees.
