Why 'Adopt-a-Hive' is the Gift for Every Occasion

Surely giving a beehive will leave the person celebrating in awe! Not only is it not one of the usual overused gifts, but it also has an ethical side that even the most ardent detractors of this occasion might appreciate. Indeed, choosing a 3Bee hive means supporting bees and the beekeepers who take care of them every day. We know that bees are very important insects for our planet and our lives. Not only do they produce the precious, sweet food that is honey, but they play a decisive role in the preservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. About 75% of food crops depend directly or indirectly on their pollination activity. For wild plants, on the other hand, the percentage rises dramatically to nearly 90%. By donating the adoption of a 3Bee hive you give a contribution to those beekeepers who care for their bees.

By helping bees, therefore, you actually help the environment. What would be left of our planet without bees that pollinate flowers and allow plants to reproduce? Not only would we no longer eat foods like apples, almonds, cherries, strawberries, cocoa, chestnuts, but also many plants and flowers would no longer exist. We also know the fundamental role of plants in limiting carbon dioxide emissions into the environment. Bees, by enabling the growth and development of these plants, make this very important task possible. An adoption of a beehive is the perfect gift for anyone who loves the environment. Just think that a fully developed hive has more than 60,000 bees, which manage to pollinate 36 million flowers in a year. What incredible work are these insects doing for us? So it is true that more bees, more pollination, more plants, less anhydride and more biodiversity!

All adoptable hives are managed by local Italian beekeepers, distributed throughout the country. The beekeepers use 3Bee remote monitoring systems to better manage their work and keep an eye on their bees at all times. In this way they can detect anomalies and problems in the hive immediately and intervene promptly to put an end to them, thus preserving the health and survival of their bees. By adopting one of their hives, you can follow them and their bees for an entire year, observing the same parameters of interest as the beekeeper and supporting their daily work and good beekeeping practices. Beekeepers who take care of their bees every day with technology, producing honey that is made in Italy, genunio and traced. An ecological and solidarity gift to support local and Italian realities.

For once, the gift will not only be for the birthday person, but also for you! By choosing the gift option, in fact, you can create two adoption profiles, yours and that of the actual recipient of the hive. This way you can follow the development of your hive together, following it from the resumption of the beekeeping season, when the hive gradually starts to grow again, to the period of maximum production and the slow march towards wintering, when the number of bees decreases and the importation of pollen and nectar ceases. You can share this wonderful experience, monitoring your bees together.

At the end of the beekeeping season, in fact, the person to whom you gave the gift of adopting a hive will receive directly at home the honey of your choice produced by your hive! In this way, the person celebrated will be able to enjoy a genuine and natural Italian product, a clear expression of the territory where it was produced. Every honey from every year is in fact special and unique. You can choose the type that you already know is your favourite or launch yourself into the exploration of new tastes and the peculiarities of each beekeeping reality. In this way you can get a glimpse of the many beekeepers on the platform, spread across Italy.
