Piemonte, 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

Mine is a small professional beekeeping business that started about 10 years ago. I manage about 200 hives located in 4 permanent apiaries where I produce Spring Wildflowers and Acacia, and in 2 apiaries where I also produce chestnut. I then move the bees to mountain apiaries in the Biella area and in the Aosta Valley for the production of mountain wildflowers and rhododendron. The apiary closest to home (Bornasco) is used for pollen collection. For almost all the displacements, I am helped by John, a refugee boy, who has been following me in this adventure for three years now. Finally, I dedicate myself to the reproduction of nuclei (new families of bees) that I sell to other beekeepers or to those who want to start breeding bees.

What do you adopt

Together with the 3Bee agronomists we analyzed the best set of Plants to regenerate the soil, produce nectar and restore biodiversity to the area. Selected dozens of Italian Growers among Beekeepers and Farmers, provided them with the plants free of charge. We pay them every year for every plant they care for and grow. Adopt a plant that helps sustainable beekeeping and farming communities and contribute to the regeneration of biodiversity.
