Consulenza su legislazione e normativa ambientale attraverso un Tecnico Ambientale iscritto all'Ordine dei Gestori Ambientali. Pianificazione del territorio, sviluppo di agglomerati industriali e residenziali, gestione ambientale di emissioni e rifiuti, progetti di tutela e salvaguardia di aree e specie viventi

Servizio rivolto alle aziende professionali e ad Enti Pubblici che necessitano di una consulenza da parte di un Esperto Apistico. I campi di consulenza vanno dall’allevamento delle api (biologia, gestione, cura e riproduzione), alle produzioni animali per consumo umano (miele e pappa reale), ai servizi per l’agricoltura (impollinazione delle colture sotto serra e in campo aperto), ai servizi per Enti pubblici (biomonitoraggio, progetti di miglioramento genetico e tutela degli impollinatori, normative e finanziamenti UE)

Ape da miele (apis mellifera ligustica) Honeybees (Apis mellifera ligustica) are essential pollinators in both ecosystems and agriculture and its practices. However, their populations are declining due to various factors, including exposure to pesticides. Despite their importance, their reproductive castes, particularly drones, remain poorly studied in terms of pesticide effects. Particular attention was paid to fungicides widely used in agriculture and which, according to popular belief, are not harmful to the protection of bees and pollinators in general. Fungicida a base di azossistrobina e pubblicizzato come "selettivo e tutelante gli impollinatori" To study the effects of azoxystrobin and picoxystrobin on honeybee drones, the drones were exposed to different concentrations of azoxystrobin and picoxystrobin for 14 days; drone survival and body weight, as well as reproductive organs, sperm concentration, and nutrient content, were assessed. This study demonstrated that exposure to both fungicides caused a significant reduction in drone survival, with survival rates progressively decreasing as the duration of exposure increased. Compared to the control group, the body weights of drones in all treatment groups were significantly lower at days 7 and 14 of life. Nutrient analysis revealed that low concentrations of azoxystrobin and picoxystrobin increased protein levels, while free fatty acid content decreased significantly in all treatment groups. No significant changes in total carbohydrate content were observed. Fungicida ad ampio spettro a base di picossistrobina utilizzato per il trattamento del frumento (tenero e duro), orzo, segale, ecc. Morphological examination of the reproductive organs showed that the lengths of the mucous glands and seminal vesicles in the drones were significantly shorter in the treatment groups than in the control group. Furthermore, exposure to azoxystrobin and picoxystrobin caused a significant decrease in sperm concentration in the drones. These results indicate that azoxystrobin and picoxystrobin have a negative effect on the health and reproductive capacity of honeybee drones . This study provides new insights into the adverse effects of azoxystrobin and picoxystrobin on honeybee drones. The significant impact on survival, body weight, nutrient content, reproductive organs, and sperm concentration emphasizes the need to reassess the risks posed by these fungicides to pollinators. Given the crucial role of drones in preserving the genetic diversity and resilience of honeybee colonies, these findings have significant implications for beekeeping and agricultural practices. Future research should focus on clarifying the mechanisms underlying these effects and exploring potential strategies to mitigate the impact of fungicides on pollinator health. Furthermore, long-term studies are needed to assess the cumulative impact of fungicide exposure on bee populations and colony dynamics.

Scopri la storia di ESA Regine: dall’apicoltura professionale all’allevamento di api regine Ligustica, selezione, ricerca e innovazione in apiario. A passion becomes a profession. Every day, with the bees. It began with curiosity, five nucleus colonies and many questions. Today, that same desire to understand drives ESA Regine: our work in bee breeding, selection and care. It all began with five nucleus colonies First came curiosity, then the desire to try. Finally, a passion that changed the way we saw the world. This is how the ESA Regine story began: we approached beekeeping without knowing how much of our lives it would come to occupy. Those first five nucleus colonies taught us an immediate lesson. Only after bringing them home did we discover that three were queenless. It was not an easy start, but those very difficulties sparked our need to understand: to observe a colony, recognise its condition, and learn when to intervene and when to let it find its own balance. Since then, we have learnt to see the world through a beekeeper’s veil. Behind that mesh, what once seemed simply a group of insects became a complex organism, continually raising new questions. That endless opportunity to learn is what made us stay. When passion calls for method Passion was the beginning; turning it into a profession required study, consistency and responsibility. Alongside our work in the apiary, we read reference texts and attended training organised by beekeeping associations, universities and research bodies, including CREA. Exchanging knowledge with researchers and fellow beekeepers helped us turn enthusiasm into a more informed way of working. An observation gains value when it is recorded, compared and revisited over time. A breeding decision requires attention to the colony’s condition, its environment and the effects it may have in the following season. Our transition to professional beekeeping grew out of this process. The wonder of those early days was joined by careful organisation, precise work and a commitment to consistent care. Bees became the focus of our working lives, while remaining the reason we continue to study. Breeding means choosing, observing and assessing Today, ESA Regine focuses on breeding and selecting Apis mellifera ligustica. Our registration in Italy’s National Register of Italian Bee Breeders provides a technical reference for this work, connecting apiary practice with protocols, data collection and shared assessment methods. Selection takes patience. A good impression during a single inspection is not enough: colonies need to be followed over time, their development and behaviour recorded, and their performance assessed in the conditions in which they work. Honey production, gentleness, swarming tendency and the ability to cope with different stages of the season all contribute to a fuller picture. Instrumental insemination complements this process. This skill enables controlled matings and greater precision in breeding programmes. The technique is meaningful when it is supported by knowledge of the colonies and by assessment of the results over time. Bees for a changing world Bees have taught us that no single, permanent solution works in every season. Beekeeping calls for observation, adaptability and respect for a living creature that cannot be reduced to its output alone. Pliny’s expression, “neque mansueti neque feri”, still reminds us of this distinctive nature, with which we seek a balance every day. For us, sustainable beekeeping must bring together the wellbeing of bees and the ability of those who keep them to continue working with skill and dignity. It means making thoughtful choices, using resources carefully and building a business that can endure. This is what “bees for a changing world” means to us. A profession born of passion, developed through study and sustained by daily work. Our first hives belong to our history; the desire to understand that brought us this far remains part of every day at ESA Regine.
