Senasa has intensified health monitoring and prevention measures in Salta due to the risk of the small hive beetle (PEC) and varroosis, both of which threaten honey production and apiary health. Training sessions, conducted in collaboration with the Salta Agricultural Development Secretariat, focused on early identification of PEC, ongoing hive monitoring, and risk-reduction strategies for beekeepers. Experts from Senasa's NOA Norte Regional Center provided insights on recognizing the beetle and outlined procedures for producers to follow if they suspect its presence, as reported by AgroNoa.
