The beekeeping sector in Gironde and Landes faces significant economic losses due to wildfires, warns the beekeepers' association Adana, which promotes apiculture in Nouvelle-Aquitaine. In a statement released on July 30, the association reported that, one week after the fires consumed 45,500 hectares, at least 420 colonies of honeybees and equipment were lost. The regional beekeeping network anticipates substantial economic repercussions. "The declared fires have significantly impacted the local beekeeping sector, resulting in direct losses and long-term consequences for affected producers," stated Adana president Guillaume Antenor, expressing concern over the ongoing instability and uncertain outlook.
