QUEEN BEE OF LIGUSTIC RACE

The Italian bee is the pride and joy of our country. Article 5 of Regional Law No.313/2004 (Beekeeping discipline) states: safeguard and selection in purity of the Italian bee (Apis mellilfera ligustica Spinola).

L'ape is a hymenoptera belonging to the family of the apoids that perform the very important task of ensuring pollination, just think that about 2/3 of our food comes directly or indirectly from their work.the variety, climates and crossbreeds have given rise to many subspecies and hybrids. Certainly the protection of this typically Italian breed is also born from the fact that this type of bee has developed and fixed genetic traits such as to be perfectly adapted to the territory and climate of our peninsula.
