Learn more about the issues related to honey production and the consequent difficulties that entrepreneurs in the sector are encountering in recent years due to drought, climate change and the sudden rise and fall of temperatures. Discover the social organization of bees, taste some types of honey and appreciate their qualitative characteristics. Educate the new generations respect for nature and the importance of preserving the ecosystem.
These are the objectives of the event to be held Monday 20 May – starting from 9.30 am – on the occasion of the World Bee Day | worldBEEday at the new Etna apiary(via Dietro Serra 6 | Viagrande).
The Viagrande appointment was made possible thanks to the precious support of the educational institutions: the new Educational Apiary, designed by the prof. Ettore Barbagallois located in Viagrande in the same area as Museum of Etna and the House of Butterflies, a unique place dedicated to Nature and Biodiversity, a true living spectacle in which you are surrounded by a riot of colors and shapes. The path open to students – in complete safety – includes educational hives and giant hives for edutainment, where you can enter to discover the role of each type of bee – from the queen, to the drones, to the workers – where it is possible to learn by playing playful and interactive spaces.
«We must start from the new generations to educate respect for Nature in all its forms and to create citizens aware of the importance of Biodiversity understood as a universal value – declared the prof. Ettore Barbagallo – raising aware consumers is fundamental because it positively influences the choices of large companies and institutions. We do our best to transfer passion and scientific knowledge and we are fortunate to be able to count on the precious support of educational institutions and corporate partners who have embraced this important cause.”
The event is supported by the partners ASI (Italian social sports associations), Latte Stella and Tomarchio Pasticceria Siciliana
