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

The small farm has its roots along the Roman road (Herculea in fact, which connected Lucania to Rome) in the uncontaminated territory of the Vulture regional park, in the province of Potenza (an ancient extinct volcano with two fantastic lakes) in Basilicata, a land of ancient flavours and brigands precisely in the municipalities of Barile, Rapolla, Rionero in Vulture, and also not far from the splendid natural waterfalls of San Fele. The apiaries are located on uncontaminated volcanic terrain, with spontaneous blooms, all owned, free of any urbanisation, from the hills (centuries-old olive groves at 400 m) to centuries-old chestnut groves (at 950 m above sea level). The farm focuses on the highest quality products, respecting nature and completely eliminating plant protection products, to obtain a genuine, healthy and good product, just like the old-fashioned one, suitable especially for children but also for the most demanding palates.
