Contributions For Organic Honey - Autonomous Province Of Bolzano

3Bee is the Nature Tech company that develops technologies for the protection of biodiversity. 3Bee Hive-Tech is 3Bee's first system for analysing the health and 'starvation' status of honeybees, environmental pests par excellence. Over time, we have developed other technologies to study and monitor all the pollinating insects and created more than 200 Oases of Biodiversity with thousands of nectariferous plants to provide them with nourishment. In this way, we want to create a virtuous circle: our beekeepers are transformed by necessity into Oasis growers and promoters of environmental biodiversity. We do not encourage massive production and intensive breeding, which have a negative impact on biodiversity and pollinators. We do, however, recognise the value of honey as a valuable symbol of the biodiversity of an environment and a tool for disseminating the commitment and protection of an area, to be consumed sparingly and with respect for the life cycle of these insects.

Beneficiaries are all beekeeping undertakings registered in the national register of organic undertakings and located in the Province of Bolzano. Farms that already enjoy funding under the RDP referring to organic farming are not eligible for funding. In particular, the funds go to cover the costs of compulsory official inspections that are carried out every year to comply with the rules governing organic honey certification. All extraordinary expenses, on the other hand, are excluded from funding. The aid covers 100 per cent of the eligible expenses, up to a maximum of EUR 1,000 per year per individual beneficiary.
