The honey season has been challenging for beekeepers in Porto, exacerbated by the aftermath of wildfires, particularly affecting apiaries near the burned areas. The Porto mountains were heavily impacted by the fires that ravaged the Sanabria region in 2025. José Antonio Bruña, a local beekeeper with 18 hives, notes that while the overall season has been poor, the fires have further complicated matters. Beekeepers in Sanabria report low production levels this year, largely due to temperature fluctuations attributed to climate change, which make honey extraction increasingly difficult.
