Parliamo di miele, polline e apicoltura con Lucia Piana - Le inter-BEE-ste di Vitamina Bee

This week, we're talking about honey with Dr. Maria Lucia Piana. She has been working in honey analysis, particularly pollen analysis, for over 30 years. We also discussed pollen (naturally present in all honey) and how it can be used to uncover a wealth of interesting information. We also discussed the honey market with Lucia and what beekeepers can do to leverage the unique characteristics of small-scale production versus large-scale distribution. How can all this information be used to combat fraud in the honey market? We'll find out in this inter-BEE-sta!
