Case da Sole

About us

Case da Sole are commercial beekeepers situated near the city of Ascoli Piceno, in Italy's Marches region. To produce our honey, we move our hives from place to place in spring and summer, to follow the flowering of different plants. We also produce royal jelly, bee families, pollen and propolis.

The bees

We have 15 million bees. We keep 250 families in itinerant hives in the mountains and 50 in low lying areas for production of royal jelly. The race of bees we use is ligustica, Italy's ecotype. The natural reproduction of our queen bees generates families that are highly productive and resistant to disease.
