The territory of the Mountain Communities, which includes the Municipalities of Ghiffa, Bèe, Cannero Riviera, Oggebbio, Premeno, Trarego Viggiona, Arizzano, Aurano, Cambiasca, Caprezzo, Cossogno, Intragna, Miazzina, S. Bernardino Verbano, and Vignone, is the ideal place for the production of a great honey rich in therapeutic properties. As a matter of fact, it is not contaminated nor subject to antiparasitic projects. Moreover, the extraction of honey from the honeycomb and the putting it into vases are carried out at room temperature, since the heating and the excessive filtration neutralize the precious and vital substances of the honey.
The beekeepers who are part of ASSOCIAZIONE APICOLTORI DELLE COMUNITA' ALTO VERBANO E VALGRANDE are 40 and have about 500 hives producing three kinds of honey:

• acacia honey
• chestnut honey
• flower honey.
