royal jellyroyal jelly

A milky substance produced by worker bees, royal jelly is the source of many hormones important for the development of future queens. It contains proteins, minerals, lipids and glucides, and large amounts of the B-vitamin pantothenic acid. As a food for humans, it has numerous benefits. Case da Sole began producing fresh royal jelly in 2005.

propolispropolis

Propolis is a mixture of gums and resins collected by bees, then modified by the insects' salival secretions. It has antibiotic and healing properties and is a well-known anti-inflammatory. We collect our propolis using metal grills placed inside the hives.

flower pollen

pollenPollen is collected by bees and stored in "baskets" on their back legs. We use a simple trap fitted to the hive entrance to knock the pollen grains from the baskets and into a tray.

swarms, families

colony
We sell artificial swarms with young queens. Families are composed of four frames for the brood and one for honey.
wax  Used by bees to build their nests, wax is extracted during the honey harvest.
beeswax
All our products are subjected to chemical analysis by the loboratory of the Marches Regional Agrochemical Center, which attests that they are microbiologically pure and uncontaminated by toxic residues. The table below shows the analysis of samples of our honey produced in 2005.

bee health

bee The excessive use of medicinal drugs in beekeeping carries risks both for consumers and - in the long run - for beekeepers. Since our production is small-scale, we are able to keep our colonies under constant observation and prevent development of pathologies. The production of artificial swarms means the beeswax is constantly renewed, which guarantees a clean environment for the bees. We closely monitor infestationsvorroa of the parasitic mite Varroa destructor, and take action at the right moment - in the autumn and winter months, after the honey has been harvested.
