The high summer temperatures are impacting various agricultural sectors in Zamora, including beekeeping. In Benavente and the Los Valles region, beekeepers are facing a particularly challenging season following an irregular spring marked by heavy rains and a sudden rise in temperatures that disrupted flowering patterns. Tomás Fernández Tejedor, an agronomist specializing in apiculture, notes that these weather conditions are affecting both bee activity and the work of beekeepers. The predominant species in this area is the black bee (Apis mellifera), which utilizes local floral resources to produce the region's distinctive honey, crucial for ecological balance and agriculture.
