The production of melipona honey in José María Morelos has dropped by approximately 50% this season, primarily due to reduced flowering, which limited food availability for the bee colonies. Local producer Nazario Huchin Chan noted that while conditions were initially favorable, flowering later diminished, leading to lower honey yields. Previously, producers could harvest up to one liter of honey per jobón, but this year’s output has halved.
