The COSAR Beekeeping Cooperative advises preparing apiaries and strengthening colonies to endure periods of heavy rain, high humidity, and potential access difficulties. Juan Dukart from their Technical Department explained they are preparing for a Niño year and advising members in Santa Fe province.

One key recommendation is to check hive placement and avoid direct ground contact, especially due to risks of flooding in low areas. Recent events show apiaries in low zones can suffer significant hive losses from floods. Therefore, raising hives and identifying high-risk zones early is advised, along with planning possible colony relocations if needed.
