HONEYS FROM LIGURIA

One of the most famous fake news stories that have made the rounds in all media old and new is the totally false phrase attributed to Albert Einstein created by French beekeepers during a protest rally in 1994: 'When bees disappear man will only have 4 years left to live'. There was enough truth in this phrase to scare people into going viral (more than 80 per cent of wild plants depend on pollinating insects and as many as 71 of the 100 species of crops that provide 90 per cent of the world's food depend on bees visiting).

We like to think that Ligurian honey has something extra for the simple fact that in our region there are hardly any large industrially cultivated extensions, and the small and medium-sized agricultural producers are almost all located inland or in the areas close to the sea, impervious and wooded areas that account for 73.4% of the territory against the national average of 36.4%. Exquisite and of high quality are the products and honeys of artisan farms.

On Youliguria.it, with the Ligurian Region's Craftsmen of Quality label, the Agriturismo Artemisia (Montoggio, Genoa hinterland), the Frantoio e Molino Ambrosini (Sarzana, Val di Vara honey) and the Frantoio Ghiglione (Dolcedo, Imperia) produce honey.
