The importance of bees for crops

The climate crisis has made us realize how delicate our planet’s ecosystems are and how important the work of small insects like bees is for the well-being of nature. By reading this article, you will discover why bees are essential for the environment and how Sudrise is committed to protecting them.

Bees are known for the excellent products they give us, such as honey, wax, and propolis, but their role in the environment is much broader. For example, these insects are crucial for the pollination of various wildflowers and medicinal plants that would otherwise struggle to reproduce. Additionally, the cultivation of many fruits and vegetables depends on the work of bees: strawberries, apples, tomatoes, blueberries, and eggplants are just a few examples. The behavior of bees can reveal a lot about the environmental conditions around us. If the number of bees decreases in an area, the ecosystem of that territory is unhealthy and has lost its balance: unfortunately, this is happening more and more often due to smog, habitat destruction, climate change, increased intensive agriculture, and the heavy use of pesticides and other chemicals. However, fortunately, some local producers and farmers are increasingly committed to rediscovering and applying environmentally and worker-friendly supply chains, offering only genuine km0 products belonging to the best Lucanian traditions.

At Sudrise, we have great respect for nature and bees: for this reason, we offer many types of honey, all organic and from local and responsible productions. You can find both classic honeys like acacia and wildflower honey, as well as rarer specialties like rosemary, sulla, eucalyptus, orange, lapio, honeydew, and the highly appreciated citrus honey. Try our Lucanian and Southern Italian specialties now, and you will support a territory that has much to offer in full respect of nature and humanity.

The range of products offered by Sudrise also includes high-quality Lucanian food as well as typical organic products from many other regions of Southern Italy. The most indispensable Lucanian products are certainly Soppressata, Lucanian cheeses, wines, and typical sweets. Our catalog offers very fresh fruits and vegetables, strictly organic, including the famous cruschi peppers and Calabrian chili peppers. You can also find baked goods like pizzas and bread, as well as various types of flours and spices, tomato sauces, and legumes. To further enrich your pantry, we offer Made in Italy extra virgin olive oils, pickled vegetables, and a selection of Italian olives.
