Honey has been delighting humans for more then 40 centuries. In ancient Egypt, taxes were paid with it, while in early Greece and Rome honey symbolized fertility, love, and beauty.
In the Bible, this sublime nectar is dubbed "the heavenly food" and for the ancients, honey was a source of health, a sign of purity and a symbol of strength and virility.
In our Farm in Rubbiano we have also these wonderful gift of the nature: the Bees.
Bees produce honey as food stores for the hive during the long months of winter when flowers aren't blooming and therefore little or no nectar is available to them. European honey bees, genus "Apis Mellifera", produce such an abundance of honey, far more than the hive can eat, that humans can harvest the excess.
The wood surrounding our Farm is full of "Corbezzoli" (Arbutus unedo) that is one of the more typical plants of the Mediterranean regions and it represent undoubtedly the best food for bees.
Only from these plants bees obtain the best and more expensive honey of Italy:Corbezzoli's honey.
You will able to see these umbelievable animals working in the hive learn everything about breeding and harvesting honey and at last you will taste our lovely honey.
Honey's buyers are always welcome...!!!!
