Azienda agricola Galeone Paolo Stefano

I got into beekeeping in 2016 by hosting a friend's apiary on my land. Almost for fun I wanted to try looking after a couple of families of bees and from there began a lightning-fast passion that changed my life. I attended beekeeping courses and learned in the field by helping some colleagues, and in 2019 I opened my own company, leaving my previous job and devoting myself entirely to bees. My business is located in the province of Asti, and is devoted to the production of honey by practicing nomadism. The basic apiaries are located in Monferrato, where they produce acacia honey, mixed flower honey and occasionally also some rarer essences such as cherry and bramble, then they are moved to Val Germanasca or Val Pellice (depending on the year) for the production of lime and chestnut honey. Year after year, my respect for nature and its rhythms, and my awareness of the role of bees in the ecosystem, have led me to adopt an ethical approach with minimal impact on the hives, bringing conventional management closer to practices more akin to the organic method. The scrupulousness and attention dedicated every day to the care of the hives and the choice of the best pasture are reflected in the quality and genuineness of the honey I produce.
