On World Bee Day, the State of Mexico's climate is noted to support honey production

On World Bee Day, the State of Mexico's climate is noted to support honey production. The local Secretary of Agriculture reports 700 beekeepers managing 40,000 hives, yielding around 950 tons of honey annually, which accounts for 2.1% of Mexico's total honey production, placing the state 14th nationally. Bees, as the world's primary pollinators, play a crucial role in biodiversity and human survival.

The climate and geography of the State of Mexico are conducive to bee survival and honey production. However, similar to global trends, key challenges include reducing pesticide use, promoting polyculture alongside beekeeping, and recognizing bees as vital partners in agriculture.
