At just 27 years old, Jazmín Oddone has expanded her beekeeping venture, Miel Magui, from four neglected hives to 50 thriving colonies in Caazapá, Paraguay. Her journey began as a means to fund her studies abroad, but it has evolved into a sustainable apiculture business and a pioneering apiturismo project aimed at promoting local tourism.

The inception of Miel Magui occurred in February 2020 when Jazmín, then an agronomy student, sought funds for a semester in Brazil. She discovered her grandmother Margarita's abandoned beehives and decided to harvest and sell the honey. From those four hives, she extracted about 64 liters, earning 1,400,000 guaraníes, which helped finance her trip to Brazil, where she gained essential beekeeping knowledge.
