The Association "BUONO" is the brainchild of eight friends with a scientific background and love for nature in common. In order to protect the biodiversity of the local area and to spread the scientific culture, BUONO activities are aimed at sensitizing people to respect and protect the environment, animal and plant species that make it what it is, using the wonderful world of bees as a crucial tool.

Infact Bees are essential pollinating insects for the maintenance of biodiversity, but they are also particularly at risk as they are very sensitive to pollution, climate change and industrial farming practices. With the activity of beekeeping we want to contribute on the one hand help to take care of the life of bees, the other to convey a message about the importance of nature conservation.
