Sicily Melata Honey Sicily Melata Honey is the only honey that does not derive from flower nectar but from the sap of certain plants such as citrus and conifers, transformed by the metabolism of other insects into sugary substance. Collected by bees, it is transformed into Sicily Melata Honey which has a dark color and a less sweet flavor. Sicula Bee: The sicula bee has a greater genetic variance compared to any other subspecies of European honeybee, which is due to its African origins. Genetic variance refers to a greater number of genes, which ensure greater reactivity to any possible issues. Early brood development with 8 or 9 frames between December and January allows for the presence of young bees, ensuring longer life and dynamism compared to Ligurian and other northern bees, which have a winter brood block. The bee is sought after by growers for pollinating protected crops (watermelons, cantaloupes, strawberries, etc.) as it is active and functional in extreme conditions of tunnels, where from the 0° degrees of night one can follow the 40° degrees of day. It has been shown that in every hive only a small part of the bees goes out to forage and of these, only about 20% collect pollen, thus only these are capable of pollinating the flower. Since pollen is necessary for the sustenance of the brood and with the Sicula Bee having abundant brood all year round, many more bees are used for pollen collection; this means that, with an equal number of foragers, Sicula bees can pollinate greater areas of crops. The Sicula Bee has very low honey consumption, which allows for a greater probability of survival of the hive given equal honey reserves. Strong self-defense capability: in twenty-five years of work with the Sicula bee and with the Sicula F1, it has never happened that a hive or nucleus with a queen was looted.
