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

Sita nell 'oltrepo pavese was born in 2011, but my passion for bees had blossomed a decade earlier, when on Sundays going to visit my uncle I saw a gentleman with a white beard who spent the day checking his bees in the adjacent field. Now the farm runs a nomadic organic beekeeping business with 250 hives. We produce acacia honey from the Ticino park to the hills beyond the Po Valley, chestnut honey from the Apennines in the Savona area, lime honey from the upper Val Sesia and mixed flower honey from our alfalfa meadows in the Oltrepo Pavese area, and at the end of the season, after the treatments, we take the bees up into the hills to collect the precious pollen from the ivy, which we obviously leave to them. We collect chestnut pollen during the June flowering season. We produce our own queens, which we use to replace any orphaned ones and to form new families that will be used for farm replacement or for sale.
