Honey production in Parral increased by 2.8% in 2023, rising from 2,152 tons in 2022 to 2,212 tons. However, local beekeepers reported a 60% loss of hives due to drought conditions. They expressed concerns over the lack of government support to mitigate the impact of climate on their operations.

Gonzalo Lugo, a local beekeeper, noted that the beekeeping sector has been severely affected by adverse weather and the absence of assistance from government entities, despite the nutritional and ecological benefits of apiculture. He mentioned that the ten registered beekeepers in the city have had to invest more in managing their hives to prevent further losses.
