Beekeeping is more than just honey production; it significantly boosts agricultural productivity. Pollination can create up to ten times the value of honey and is essential for crops like watermelon, melon, cucumber, tomato, and coffee. Sustainable management of bees is crucial for food security, crop quality, and strengthening the agricultural economy. During a Scientific Café organized by the National Secretariat of Science, Technology, and Innovation (Senacyt), researchers and beekeepers emphasized that bees are not only biodiversity symbols but also strategic resources for sustainable development.
