DISCOVER THE WORLD OF BEES

APITURISM: "Discovering the World of Bees and the Importance of Life on the Planet" Bees are essential for life on our planet. Without their existence, the future of humanity would be seriously compromised. Albert Einstein warned about their importance by stating that "if bees were to disappear from the face of the Earth, humanity would only have four years to live." This phrase, although dramatic, highlights the vital role that these small insects play in the pollination of plants, which guarantees the survival of many of the foods we consume. HONEY AND ITS IMPORTANCE IN THE MEDITERRANEAN DIET Besides being a sweet and nutritious food, honey has played a central role in the Mediterranean diet since ancient times. Rich in antioxidants, natural enzymes and antibacterial properties, honey is much more than a natural sweetener; it is a superfood that provides health and well-being benefits. In our region, honey production is a thousand-year-old tradition that lives on thanks to the efforts of local beekeepers, who maintain the traditional practices that have been passed down from generation to generation.
