When I was just 7 years old, my mother was stung by a colony of wasps. From that moment on, I developed a fear of wasps, bees, and any buzzing creature.

In my early 30s, I left my job as a marketing director to spend more time in nature. This led me to rediscover the fascinating world of bees, transforming my fear into a deep love.

Bees have profoundly impacted my life, shaping my lifestyle and altering the way I perceive and interact with the world.

My journey is magical, engaging, and beautiful, and I'll share it with you personally when we meet.

Ancient civilizations, particularly the Egyptians, recognized the profound connection between humans and bees as a bridge to the afterlife and eternity. For them, honey harvesting transcended mere sustenance; it was a mystical ritual that fostered a connection with the divine, reflecting a deep reverence for nature.

Today, the relationship between humans and bees is diverse. On one end of the spectrum, commercial beekeepers manage thousands of hives, often prioritizing profit through honey sales and pollination services. Conversely, at the other end, there are individuals who maintain one or a few beehives in their gardens, seeking to reconnect with bees in the same way our ancestors did.

At Silvestres, we resonate with this ancestral bond. Our mission is to share our knowledge and promote harmonious coexistence with bees, encouraging more people to embrace this vital relationship.
