MOLISE CELEBRATES ITS BEES
The small mountain town of Castel del Giudice, near Isernia (Molise) was one of the protagonists of World Bee Day on the 20th May 2023, in which visitors were invited to don beekeepers' protective gear and explore the world of hives. Experts were at hand to explain the community life of the bees and their invaluable contribution to the environment.
The Castel del Giudice bees pollinate the organic apple orchards of the area, which have been planted in abandoned agricultural land, and are celebrated for the special wildflower honey they produce.
Other Italian areas that took part in the World Bee Day initiatives included the Rubicone Valley in Romagna, the Dolomite Val d'Ega (Bolzano) with its “Bees' Wood,” Valgenauna in Alto Adige with its “Bees Trail” and the Modolena Protected Area in Reggio Emilia.
