The Golden House of Bees
Inauguration 22 May at 18:00
"The Golden House of Bees" an exhibition on the various types of hives that have welcomed the bees to highlight the evolution during the last century. Starting from the simplest materials, it was possible to modify the structure of the hives and to insert a series of sensors to detect what happens inside the hives, especially to monitor the condition of the bees due to the change in the external environment and to ensure that they are well. The monitoring devices allow you to know how the activity of collecting nectar from bees is going and then optimize the interventions and target them to specific needs of the time of the family. In this context, it can be remembered that bees make it possible to carry out a widespread monitoring of the environment and to transmit very accurate information on the state of health of the territory in which they operate and this also plays an important role for human health. The exhibition is completed by a photographic exhibition, tastings and sale of honey and you can attend the honey extraction.
