Beekeepers in Culiacán are relocating hives to take advantage of increased nectar flow following recent rains. Miguel Ángel Valenzuela Verdugo, president of the local beekeepers' association, said producers are inspecting their apiaries and planning upcoming honey harvests.

Part of the preparation involves adding honey supers and moving hives closer to areas with abundant flowering plants and trees producing more nectar. Valenzuela Verdugo emphasized the importance of positioning hives near nectar sources to ensure favorable honey production.

The recent rains have boosted flowering, providing more food for bees and strengthening apiculture activities. Beekeepers are using the humid and flowering conditions to ready their hives for a productive honey season.
