Giorgio Venturieri in front of an open hive of Friseomelitta sp bees, which have the particularity of keeping on their back legs little balls of resin to protect them from ant attacks. "I put in place a system of hives that allows for the colonies' easy division, to multiply the hives and carry out several honey harvests."
