Hi! We are Giovanna and Davide, we moved from Mialno to Tuscany in 2005. We approached beekeeper world in 2011 and we were fascinated so that I, Davide, have decided to become a beekeeper. This world has immediately conquered me for its wonderful ability to build a world that is nothing short of perfect. My task is to make bees feel good to get in return a very delicious honey!

We had a fantastic experience with Giovanna and his husband and would recommend to anyone (young and old)! After a short introduction on the world of bees, we went to the hives and could explore ourselfs the life of bees. They really are passionate about what they do and share their passion through this experience. Thank you very much!

They were warm and very welcoming to us. This was a once in a lifetime experience in an absolutely amazing location with people who truly care about the future of these incredible bees. Of all the great experiences I've had, this really has been at the top. Most were for my entertainment but this experience was so pure and educational about some of the most important insects in our amazing world! I'm truly grateful and thankful that Giovanna is offering to share this with outsiders and passing this knowledge along.

Il mondo delle api mi ha sempre incuriosita e Giovanna e Davide mi hanno dato la possibilità di entrare in contatto con questo meraviglioso mondo. Loro sono disponibili solari e molto competenti, è stato emozionante poter partecipare attivamente a quella che è la vita di un’ apicoltore. La degustazione di miele e dei formaggi locali sono stati la ciliegina sulla torta. Due ore insieme per poi salutarci come se ci conoscessimo da sempre. Complimenti davvero!!!
