West
of Sicilen in Mediterranean sea are
the three Egadisk islands consisting of Isola di Levanzo, the larger Isola di
Favignana and the External Isola di Marettimo. Man reach the islands by
ferry from the city of Trapani furthest north on Sicily. There are now direct
flights from Sweden (Ryanair, Skavsta airport) to Trapani.

On
the island Marettimo runs Vincenzo Stampa and his colleague, Leonardo Parisi company
"Isola di Miele", in Swedish "Honungsön".
The
company is focused on producing varietal honey from the herbs and other
plants
that are on the Egadi Islands. They main features plants to produce mellifera
sicula is a relatively small, dark bee found in pure form in the slightly
higher height including around the volcano Btna.

Mussi used in all hives of isola di Miele.
You
build the partitions the edge where the distance is normal, and then moves into
extended frameworks more centrally 6 for fry-up. It says that it needs be more
bin in a drawer than usual distance, otherwise you have to reduce the scope in
the drawer with a avskärmningfor not get wild construction.
De egadiska
Islands varietal honey, thyme, rosemary, thistle and the local heather, but it
produces also among the honey ("millefiori").
Man uses a bee that is specially adapted to the local, sometimes extreme, climate, Apis
mellifera sicula. It is a relatively little bee who has good sense to
defend
themselves and that adapts fry-up to draw ratios.
In
september blooming heather. Then is the main feature rosemary in October
all
the way into January. In april moved the bees to the island Favignana for
thistle Treaty and in June-July produced pure thyme honey.
A
very exciting development is how Vincenzo Stampa and his colleagues handle
problems with varroa mites. When varroa mite came to Sicily in the 1980s meant disaster
for beekeeping and a large part of all societies succumbed below. Like
elsewhere began use drugs to combat mites, which in turn develop resistance against
drugs. They then used the organic acids to the bees to survive with relatively
good results. But 2005 came a turning point as varroasis case.
Several
beekeepers, including Vincenzo Stampa, began to embrace the toscanske beekeeper
Francesco Mussis afford to increase distance between frames in the brood
chamber to thereby influencing varroa populationens development.
Instead
of the normal 10-12 mm between the frames have been fixed distance in
rambärarlisten giving a larger space between the frames. No one has been able
to explain to me how this larger space between the frames would affect on mite
growth, but several beekeepers certify that they are not fighting varroa mites more
after they introduced this new distance between the frames in the brood chamber.
Since
you have had heavy losses colonies, and also a wild population honeybees, can
not free themselves from the idea that it might be rather bees
become
resistant to mites but the process coincided with the introduction of new
distance between brood frames (Spazzio Mussi). Anyway involved development the
company Isola di Miele can marketing of organic varietal honey of the highest quality
when bees gather honey where carrying out agricultural and some control varroasis
not needed.
After
their previous bees from mainland Italy engaged now one breeding to fully
return to work with the native bee A. mellifera sicula. The honey produced on
the islands are carried by boat and thrown in a small but modern slunglinje on
the island Marettimo, where the honey Also packaged. A large part of the
production from about 200 communities in the islands you can sell to the
tourist stream passing the islands in summer. The price per pound for among
honey is around 75 - kilogram, but much of the honey dropped in småburkar (100
mi, 250 mI) and sold at a kg price of the double or more. Due of the fine
quality and unique pure varietal honey takes some exports to customers who will
return with requests on private correspondence.
In
addition to the production of honey company operates Isola di Miele less the
business of renting out rooms on the island Marettimo, where you can either
dive in the crystal clear water, or climb the steep mountains that surround the
only buildings on the island. Though residents are about 150 people, but during
the tourist season is the number of people on the island perhaps tenfold.
The
food is fantastic, especially if you like seafood, and An apiary outside
Trapani where it conducted queen cultivation in order to augment the native bee
Apis mellifera sicula. the people are very friendly and eager if the remnant of
tourist flows to find out to Marettimo. The company has a website where
information on the activities. - www.isoladelmiele.it
