Beekeepers in Jalisco are facing a critical situation due to climate change, agricultural land transformation, and the rise of adulterated syrups masquerading as pure honey. Local producers are calling for urgent federal intervention to implement measures that will restore honey productivity in the region.

In recent years, rising temperatures have disrupted the biological dynamics of bees. Instead of focusing on gathering nectar and pollen, bees are forced to prioritize water collection to cool their hives. Alfonso Díaz León, president of the Jalisco Beekeepers Association, noted that the effects of global warming have intensified in the first half of 2026, altering hive behavior and development.
