Adopt a Beehive

Adopt a beehive and be part of Puglia’s ancient beekeeping tradition!

For centuries, Pugliese beekeepers have been tending hives to source some of the world’s finest honey. Especially Puglia’s Adopt a Beehive program allows you to become part of this proud tradition and support local farmers and beekeepers who keep time-honored methods of artisanal honey production alive.

Enjoy your honey!

 

Find a farm

Our Adopt a Beehive program brings sustainably farmed honey directly to your table. The honey is produced organically on family-run farms where artisanal beekeepers source honey from wild or organic floral sources. The program fosters direct relationships between farmers and consumers so that when your honey arrives, you’ll know the family farmers who tended the hives - and you’ll be able to taste the difference made by the traditional beekeeping methods in the honey’s incredible flavor.

Additionally, the Adopt a Beehive program helps protect honeybees, who play a critical role in our agricultural system. Bring the finest, freshest honey from Puglia to your table by adopting a beehive today!

What you receive when you adopt a beehive 
from Puglia:

  • Two 500 gr jars of honey in seasonal flavors sourced directly from our Pugliese farmers

  • A classic honey dipper and a “bee” tea towel

  • An adoption certificate with the number of your hive and date of harvest 

  • Information about the farm and the beekeeper

  • Choose your own packaging! A hand-crafted wooden crate or “bee” tea towel Furoshiki style wrapping (pricing varies)

The Garofalo farm is run by Anna Lina Garofalo and her husband. They are two dedicated beekeepers who founded the company almost 40 years ago, and now have around 200 hives. The beehives are moved within a wide geographic range to take advantage of different flowering periods throughout the year.

The Farmer

The Anzivino family farm has around 40 beehives. It is run by Fabio Anzivino, a dedicated beekeeper who follows in the footsteps of his father, who founded the beekeeping enterprise. In order to produce the best yield, beehives are continuously moved within a 200 km range of the farm’s location according to flowering periods.
