Martina Bigi beekeeper

Mine is a small farm, made up of bees and a lot of passion. The headquarters are in Fivizzano, but the seasonal movement of beehives from one place to another leads me to look for good pastures for bees throughout our province: nomadic bees that, depending on the season, move towards uncontaminated landscapes in search of the most abundant blooms.
In Lunigiana and at the foot of the Apuan Alps, the typically mountainous landscape gives us an incredibly varied vegetation that allows us to produce an excellent mountain wildflower honey, while the acacia and chestnut woods give precious single-flower honeys. In the nearby hills, I produce spring wildflower honey, honeydew, and collect pollen and raw propolis.
The job of the beekeeper as a farmer passes from guarding and preserving the environment and its biodiversity to raising the Italian honeybees as well. While foraging for food, bees transport pollen from flower to flower, making it possible to reproduce most of the botanical species that form the basis of the diet of humans and animals.
For this reason, I am setting up a cultivation system on my farm lands in harmony with the environment and that follows seasonality, which uses production methods that exclude the use of fertilizers, pesticides and chemicals for the production of fresh and processed products.
I do this with patience, one step at a time, and with the philosophy that no agriculture can exist without the work of the bees flying over it.
This simple thought leads me to give great value to first-hand experience, from the field to the table, where I can open my company to customers who wish to visit it, which further guarantees to the consumer the methods of management and transformation of my products, while respecting the environment and health. As well, we can create educational projects for children and adults where we can transmit to them the fascinating mechanisms of the world through the beehive and nature..
