Ladies Adventures is delighted to be collorating with Lady Ripple and bee ing part of the Ripple in spreadign the word about  bio diversity and the importance of it today. 

Under the auspices of their Bee the Ripple Charity, Lady Ripple launched Florence’s first bee- hives in 2021 at the Basilica of San Miniato al Monte. Lady Ripple is trying to help the biodiversity of Florence and spread awareness for the plight of the bees which are fundamental to the balance of the environment and to the well-being of humanity. Together with their organic bee-keeper Stefano di Filippo of Fior da Fiore Apicoltura Biologica, they are bringing urban bee-keeping to Florence one hive at a time.

 Please join us for a visit to the San Miniato bee-hives, where you will learn about the secret life of the bees first-hand as Stefano will be on hand to educate us about their fascinating world within nature, how they perpetuate a vital and flourishing hive and how they serve their queen and community. There are many interesting themes to explore. Later in the morning at Palazzo San Niccolo, there will be an opportunity to have a delicious tasting of various types of honey to educate your palate and your tastebuds

We will meet at the tower of San Niccolo at 9:30 and walk up to the hives.  For those of you who wish to meet at San Miniato at 10:15 are welcome to meet us there and meander down with us to Palazzo San Niccolo for the honey and cheese tasting prepared by Formaggioteca Terroir. 

*Please indicate below if you will meet us at 9:30 or 10:15 so I can manage numbers and we wait for you.
