Ethical Beekeeping

Meliodas wants to be the projection of our way of life, following these ideals we have decided to practice an Ethical Beekeeping!

We think that the beekeeper is an important guardian of the environmental balance, it is therefore essential for us to keep bees healthy, we prefer to follow their life cycle rather than shape it, we always try to conduct our apiaries in the least invasive way possible: we limit visits only to the bare essentials, we only take excess honey, leaving adequate stocks for the winter and do not adopt techniques that can damage the bees.

Awareness in our work is what distinguishes us and knowing that we are helping to leave the world a better place is what drives us to move forward.

Apiaries

Apiary is the place where we gather the bee families to be able to follow them during their lives, our Apiaries are located in north center Italy, province of Modena, but the choice of where to place them is not always so easy...we do not practice nomadism (bring bees in other regions to harvest honey), we look for places where we can establish ourselves for a long time so that the Bees help improve the habitat in which they find home!

Before placing the hives in a new site, we do a lot of research and establish very selective standards, in fact, first of all, we want our Bees to live in places most uncontaminated possible and where they best adapt to their needs: close to waterways and excellent nectar sources, away from pollution, intensive plantations or potential threats of reckless use of pesticides and, last but not least, we want that the chosen site, being also our workplace, transmits peace and serenity to those who spend time there...

Kamchatka

The name is because cold winds blowing every season.

Located about 160 m asl in the hills of Maranello and Castelvetro, in spring Acacia Honey is harvested, while in the summer the surrounding fields always give beautiful alfalfa blooms and wild flowers, whose nectar will give life to Summer Wildflower Honey.

Serra

Located at 600 m above sea level between amazing landscapes, it's possible to see many forests and creeks generating from the valleys in the sorroundings. In the first mountains of Serramazzoni is the Apiary that gives us most of the Chestnut Honey, in good seasons it is also possible to harvest Acacia

Camelot

His name comes from the legendary city, because it is the Apiary where it all originated!

Located about 100m above sea level in Montale Rangone. the flowering of the lime tree is the host but also the spring, among borage, cherry trees and fruit trees, from excellent harvests of Spring Wildflower Honey

Avalon

The leggendary Land gives name to this Apiary and shares with it a similar location: hidden and magical.

Like Camelot is also in the municipality of Castelnuovo Rangone, surrounded by a wood and green meadows, which give spectacular blooms throughout the year, especially in summer, where a lot of Linden Honey is produced, Spring Wildflower Honey is rare, but when you manage to collect it is something really special

Bosco Atro

Bosco Atro is the translation of Mirkwood in Italian,

the name refers to Tolkien's Middle Earth. We are about 300 m asl, as the name suggests, here the forest is the protagonist, among all, this is the most relaxing and solitary Apiary, the blooms alternate between hazel, cherry and acacia in spring, while in summer the flowers of forest and the chestnut tree, further up, allow us to have Forest Essence

Prancing Horse

Located at 180 m above sea level in the surroundings of Maranello, this beautiful spot, in the middle of a (non treated) private Lambrusco wineyard, is characterized by the presence of acacia trees that grow along a stream and by the excellent blooms that color the surrounding meadows in summer. Here we harvest Acacia Honey and Summer Wildflower Honey

"The bee embroiders invisible threads from one flower to another and sews the meadow of light. The pollen it carries with her, if you look closely, is a gold dust similar to stars, except that, instead of galaxies, it creates the spell of honey"
