Beekeeping conditions in Jalisco are currently unstable.

Beekeeping in Jalisco is currently in a dire state, facing challenges from ecological disasters and global market pressures. The Director of the Center for Bee Research (CIABE), Dr. José María Tapia González, reported that honey prices have plummeted from 50-60 pesos per kilogram to below 30 pesos, leading many producers to refrain from selling due to financial strain and insufficient government support. This decline is attributed to an oversupply in the global market, particularly from China and other emerging countries, which produce lower-quality honey.
