Scoiattolo Rosso Beekeeping: our bees

Each hive (or house) can contain from 30,000 to 80,000 insects which are: worker bees (almost totally); some drones (the males of the bee); one queen bee.

The worker bee is a female made sterile by the inhibitory pheromones of the queen bee present in the same hive. Smaller than the queen bee, it has atrophied reproductive system.

In general, bees have highly developed eyesight to collect and locate flowers and plants and then produce nectar or pollen. On the hind legs they have the corbicula (basket) which allows them to carry pollen and propolis (plant resin).

In turn, the corbicula is equipped with a brush where the pollen grains are collected. You can often see them when the bees return to the hive: they are those two yellow balls hanging from the legs.

Our beekeeping with the production and sale of natural honey protects the environment and biodiversity, with sustainable care and processing methods. We are certified by MIPAAF as a farm with organic processing.

Swarming bees

Swarming is the way in which bee families reproduce (considered as a superorganism as individuals are not able to survive on their own).

Swarming occurs only when the family is thriving and is able to withstand the tough tests of reconstruction, as it can take away up to three-quarters of the total population.

The exodus does not happen suddenly, the hive that is preparing to swarm presents an unusual movement in front of the entrance to the hive.

A few days earlier, the queen moves agitated emitting a particular sound and the bees that follow her also emit a hum that echoes the royal hymn.
