Il Miele di Aristomaco

Calabria, 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

l Miele di Aristomaco is a very young beekeeping company, located in the municipality of Castrolibero, but founded in 2014 in Marano Marchesato, which produces very fine quality honey. The company was founded and run by Carlo Piro, a graduate in Mechanical Engineering, who as a hobby, in 2011, began to restore some hives abandoned in the garden of his brother Leonardo. Carlo bought his first bee families in 2011, fascinated by the beautiful and mysterious world of beekeeping. He manages to pass on his interest in the world of bees to his friend Francesco and together they create a fictitious company. In the space of a few months, the two friends, cutting corners, raised several families of bees, producing, in 2011, a few dozen kilos of single-flower honey, adopting the practice of nomadism. Enthusiastic about this experience, Carlo, on his own, starts to build more hives, reads many books on the subject, does continuous research and, finally, the first satisfactions arrive: that year he produces a few quintals of honey. Between 2012 and 2013, the future engineer, buying the necessary equipment, builds in an extremely professional way, 31 nomadic hives of the latest generation, increasing production to around 1000 kg. Carlo Piro (known as Aristeo) began to invest more and more and to multiply his workers, arriving at present at just under 100 hives. Today Carlo has a small company, "Il Miele di Aristomaco", his dream has come true. In 2015 the company has several hundred hives.
