In Ibiza, beekeepers are increasingly concerned not about honey production but about ensuring their bees have enough food to survive. Drought, high temperatures, and the loss of many flowering plants have diminished the nectar and pollen available, forcing beekeepers to provide supplemental feeding to keep their colonies alive. In response, the Associació d’Apicultors d’Eivissa has requested extraordinary aid from the Consell and the Balearic Government to help offset these costs. This plea coincides with the local administration's efforts to bolster support for the sector, including a new funding initiative of 1.1 million euros from the Sustainable Tourism Tax aimed at agricultural recovery and biodiversity, with applications open until October 2.
