The province of Huarmey in the Áncash region is gearing up for its inaugural Honey Festival on September 23, 2026. This event aims to honor the efforts of beekeepers and highlight the significance of apiculture within local communities. For millennia, bees have played a crucial role in human sustenance and cultural identity worldwide. The festival will take place at 3:00 p.m. at Boulevard Cabo Alberto Reyes, showcasing local apiculture, its products, and the work of beekeepers, coinciding with Peruvian Beekeeper Day.

Bees and other pollinators are vital for global agriculture and biodiversity. However, they face numerous threats, including land-use changes, climate change, excessive agrochemical use, and invasive pests and pathogens.
