Five billion bees, 100,000 hives, and a supply chain delivering Italian-produced honey directly to shelves. This is the profile of Conapi, the National Beekeepers Consortium of Monterenzio, Bologna, known as Europe's largest beekeeping cooperative. At the Terrazza Triennale in Milan, Conapi presented figures, prospects, and innovations in the honey supply chain. Over 600 member beekeepers produce both conventional and organic honey, marketed under the Mielizia brand.
