Keep a Beehive

Castello di Meleto

For those who decide to become custodians of a beehive, it will allow it to grow and develop; in this way they will take care of it from a distance and be involved in its growth step by step.

Each hive taken into custody with a donation of 250 euros will have the name of the investor affixed to it, and 2 kg of honey will be extracted from the production of each loco,  for 5 years of custody, for a total of 10 kg.

The 20 hives on the property provide quality organic honey, and the intention is to triple the number of hives in order to sustain the biodiversity of the area and a global eco-sustainable heritage.

"In the name of Bee"

Castello di Meleto


The new custody project "In the name of the Bee"  aims to triple the existence of bees in order to encourage a return of this precious insect to the area of Gaiole in Chianti and the surrounding area.

The preservation of the place is one of the peculiar aspects on which the winery bases its work, looking for a return to methods and practices that are no longer in use, in accordance with a thought that intends to preserve man and the landscape.

The project "In the name of the Bee" is based on the intention to facilitate the increase in pollinating bees, which have a positive effect on man's immune system.

The opportunity of long-term custody of a beehive is intended to promote a current message in a precise direction: on the one hand, to return to good practices of rebalancing, which are also necessary for everyone's environmental education; on the other, to cultivate an awareness among citizens and build a future of conservation.
