Honey Company

Italy has been amazing and very different to what I am used to. The food is really different. Our stop today was to a family run honey company. The family started the company 1986. I found it very interesting that it takes eight hours to produce three tons of honey and it only takes two workers. The bees pollinate many different plants. I wish that they had talked about the flower types a little bit more but that is ok I am sure that I will see many of the plants that we learned about in the coming days. The plants that the bees pollinate are:

·         -- Citrus

·         -- Lemon

·        --  Orange

·        --  Legumes (wild flowers)

·         -- Eucalyptus

·         -- Multi flowers 

      -- chestnut

After the tour we were able to try the honey and all of it was very good. This trip has just been so amazing. I can’t wait until the coming days of the trip.
