Beekeepers for a day

Andrea and his father Sandro run a beekeeping company with love and dedication, driven by a shared passion for bees and the production of high-quality products. While the work can be demanding, it provides them with a sense of purpose and immense satisfaction. Andrea’s goal is simple: to preserve the natural gifts that bees offer, ensuring that every product is made with care and respect for the environment.

During your visit, Andrea will guide you into the fascinating world of bees, particularly focusing on the process of producing royal jelly. He will explain the intricate methods behind its creation, and after this insightful introduction, you’ll get the chance to step into the role of a beekeeper. With Andrea by your side, you’ll dress in the necessary gear and visit the apiary, where you’ll handle frames and tools, and learn how to collect royal jelly directly from the hives. The experience will give you a firsthand understanding of beekeeping and the vital work that goes into producing these precious products.

Once your hands-on experience is complete, you’ll return to the lab where you can harvest the royal jelly yourself. For the more adventurous, there’s the option to graft new sticks to take back to the apiary. To wrap up the experience, Andrea and his family will treat you to a delightful tasting of their products. You’ll sample a range of honeys, expertly paired with delicious local treats, providing a sweet and satisfying end to your immersion in the world of beekeeping.
