Apicoltura il Corniolo, it's a young farm project based in Como, Lombardy Region, in the Northern Italy.
The main activity is beekeeping and honey production. We follow the main blooming flowers starting from the flateplane towards the hill from the end of winter and the spring season. We leave the bees in the mountains during the summer to find residual blooming herbaceous plants, not to produce honey anymore, but in order to prevent the feeding of the beehive with artificial external sugar source, of paramount important, especially in the period of the treatment against varroa mites. We apply in the conduction of the beehive, the principle of organic agriculture. All the bee wax used it's certified organic and also the veterinary products used to combat varroa mites, meet the requirements of organic farming. The different types of honey derive mainly from trees blooms. In the variety so called "Millefiori" are present also herbaceous blooms. Mostly, all the beehives are located in woods and forests. Our aim is to keep high quality standard level, from the breeding of bees to the honey harvesting phase. The honey extraction is performed within an external laboratory with authorization issued by italian law.
