Mielizia becomes Conapi’s premium brand, representing the products of all beekeeper members, and now those of their children and grandchildren, who work passionately to guarantee the wellbeing of bees and the quality of their products. They know that the fruits of their labour will be best represented by Mielizia, a brand that stands for each and every one of them: from north to south, traditional and organic, working together to respect bees, the dignity of human labour, the environment, biodiversity and the quality of harvested products.
