On September 21, 2026, Guatemala intensified its efforts to combat varroa in beehives by training beekeepers in El Cedrón, La Libertad, Petén. This initiative, organized by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food (MAGA), focused on field diagnosis and post-treatment monitoring, essential for assessing infestation levels and preventing health issues in apiaries. The training is part of a diploma program by the Apicultural Unit of the Agricultural Development Directorate, under the Petén Affairs Vice Ministry.
