In San Juan, beekeeping is a small-scale activity reliant on pollination, particularly during the province's longest drought in history. Currently, there are about 70 active beekeepers managing around 7,000 hives, with half of these rented for pollinating onion, carrot, and alfalfa seeds. Despite a relatively good but uneven honey production season, the ongoing structural water deficit significantly impacts yields, which vary based on hive management and environmental conditions.
