After the fire ravaged the Sierra Oeste, over a thousand beehives and nearly one hundred million bees were lost in the area. In July, just before the flames arrived, Iván Del Río visited one of his farms to collect honeycombs for a television program. He found the hives in distress and decided to relocate them to Jaral de la Mira, seventy kilometers away. Lacking help to load the van, he was joined by Fernando Martínez, Director of EYPASA, who had long wanted to assist him with transhumance. They transported about fifty hives manually using a small van, as the terrain was unsuitable for the crane truck typically used for moving between 150 and 300 hives.
