While honey is the most recognized product of bees, in San Juan, the true economic driver of beekeeping lies elsewhere. The province's climatic conditions limit honey production but enhance the importance of pollination services for agriculture. Luis Tomás from the Ministry of Production highlighted that San Juan has found growth potential in renting hives to seed producers. "Due to its climate and characteristics, San Juan has a limited floral offer. Honey production is low, ranking among the lowest in the country, but we excel in vegetable, melon, and squash seed development, presenting a significant opportunity for beekeeping," he stated.
