GIUSEPPE CONIGLIO'S APICULTURE
Giuseppe Coniglio founded his apiculture firm in
Termini Imerese on 1983 to take over the activity of a farm very old traditions in the art
of Beekeeping and the production of honey.
The farm specializes in the production of monoflora honey from extracts and plants typical
of the sicilian territory: orange, carob, thyme, lemon eucalyptus, sulla, loquat,
wildflowers. Monoflora honey assumes the peculiarities and properties of the plant from
which bees take nectar, so orange honey has a sedative effect, eucalyptus and carob honey
are antiseptic for our respiratory system, thyme honey for our digestive system, chestnut
honey helps our blood pressure and fights off anaemia, etc..
The geographical position near Termini Imerese - on the North coast of Sicily, 30 km. from
Palermo - allows the farm to profit from the presence of the rare Japan loquat tree. As a
result, a monoflora medlar honey of such rare qualities is obtained, of which the
beekeeper is also proud surveyor to the Imperial House of Japan. However
all different kinds of monoflora honey have a common pecullarity: untouched, strictly
organic extra virgin and from certified pollution - free pastures.
The farm also produces with the same rigorous way pollen and royal jelly. All the
production is prepared in glass jars, has stock control label codes and is packed in
cartons.
A mention should be made regarding the actual rearing of the swarms because this has a
remarkable productive power, more than a thousand swarms annualy which can be delivered
all year round. Swarms are also reared of a type of bee peculiar to the sicilian country.
