A research project led by the "Polen y Mieles del NEA" group at the National University of the Northeast (Unne), in collaboration with Conicet and the National University of Mar del Plata, has confirmed the significant presence of African genetics in productive apiaries of the Humid Chaco, including hives in Corrientes and Chaco provinces. Findings were presented at the XVII Latin American Beekeeping Congress (FILAPI 2026) in Mar del Plata and published in the Unne Veterinary Journal. The fieldwork was directed by agronomist Cristian Mazepa, a doctoral fellow at Ibone (Unne-Conicet), alongside researcher Cristina Salgado Laurenti (Faculty of Agricultural Sciences), with contributions from specialists Matías Maggi and Leonardo Porrini (Iiprosam-Conicet-Unmdp).
