Le Colonie
Lombardia, ITI 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.
Le Colonie is a farm that engages in nomadic beekeeping, with particular attention to the mountain blooms of the Valtellina area. By combining different experiences and visions, we seek to build a small reality tailored for bees, humans, and the environment in which we operate. Our beekeeping history starts from a young age thanks to the passion inherited first from our grandparents and then from our parents, who passed down the love and respect for this small insect that is greatly important for biodiversity and the life of our planet. We are nomadic beekeepers, moving at night in search of unspoiled locations for the welfare of our bees and the utmost product healthiness while simultaneously seeking new and different flavors for each type of honey we produce. Despite the risks and objective difficulties, we choose the mountains for the production of all our honeys, with a range that spans from 650 m to 1800 m altitude depending on the flowering period. Our honeys are produced in limited quantities in the areas of Grosotto and Sondalo, respecting the environment and our bees. Our production is uncertain and hard to quantify. Our passion for the mountains exposes us to further uncertainties due to the climate. An abrupt climate change is enough to compromise a bloom that may only return in the following year. When a product is unavailable, or the production is limited, we will be happy to explain why.
Thanks to 3Bee technology, you can remotely adopt your chosen hives and monitor them 24 hours a day. By tracking the bees' main biological parameters - such as weight, temperature, humidity and sound intensity - you can follow their progress, growth and health status directly from your smartphone. The beekeeper will take care of your bees.
You will also receive your digital certificate via email. If the adoption is a gift, you can print it out and give it directly to the recipient.
If you choose to adopt hives and receive their honey, once your bees produce it, you will receive their honey directly to your home. All you have to do is select the favorite flowering, the amount of honey you want to receive, and wait for your bees to produce it.
We respect the bees' and beekeeper's production time, and you can check in your profile when the honey is scheduled to be delivered.
Meanwhile, from the app you can follow the work done by your bees.
