Beekeeping in Burgos province is facing tough challenges, with three consecutive poor harvests attributed to high temperatures and competition from lower-quality honey imports, particularly from China. This situation has led to a 35% decline in the number of bee colonies, now totaling over 21,000. Local beekeepers, like Ángel Nava from Las Merindades, express concerns about further reductions in honey production, while provincial beekeeping association president Yolanda Martínez predicts a 75% drop in honey yield compared to the usual average.
