Galician honey faces challenges not only from the velutina wasp and climate change but also from low-cost imports that can undercut local prices by half. Currently, honey prices at origin range from €3.30 to €3.50 per kilogram, while production costs are between €5.30 and €5.50. With approximately 4,500 beekeeping operations in the region—only 300 of which rely solely on honey production—the industry recognizes the need to derive more value from each hive.
