Azienda Apistica L’Ape e l’Orso

sul lago di Barrea

 

Famous bee-keeping company in Villetta Barrea (AQ)

 

In the Abruzzo National Park, in the small town of Civitella Alfedena, 2 apartments are suitable for up to 4 persons each – Inside the bee-keeping company there are 20 fully equipped camping areas surrounded by nature- Didactic farm- Beekeeping museum with a historical section where you can see all materials and equipments used by beekeepers in the last 100 years- Beekeeping library which has many curiosities.

Apartment or Camping accommodation- Biological products tasting- Production and selling of monoflora honey, royal jelly, propolis, infusions, cosmetic.

The “L’Ape e l’Orso” company comes to life in 1978 in the land of bears, “L’Alto Sangro- Abruzzo National Park” and works in a healthy environment providing high quality products to consumer. And this challenge satisfied us that we often grapple with bears and it’s thanks to the bees presence, maintaining a healthy environment, that the bear and the whole natural environment can still survive.

Even if sometimes some beehives has been emptied of his honey by a bear we don’t care  because we could say to have a great valuer of our production “compare orso”. So, when you find our honey-pot on your table and you open it you can smell the perfume of the mountain’s herbs, wildflower, melilotus, thyme, stachis, savory and siderites …and above all you’d imagine that while bees are working, while they picking up the nectar, there are a bear, a wolf, a deer, a chamois or an eagle keeping them company.
