On October 9, 2026, Salvador Sangregorio, an expert from INTA Alto Valle, highlighted the impact of climate change on beekeeping in northern Patagonia. Sudden temperature shifts, strong winds, and unstable weather disrupt hive routines and reduce pollen's nutritional quality. The El Niño climate phenomenon continues to influence regional production.

The combination of warm days, strong winds, late frosts, and rain not only disrupts agricultural routines but also directly affects hive behavior and nutrition during a critical time of year. Sangregorio emphasized that these changes are part of a global issue, stating that El Niño affects the entire planet, not just Patagonia. He warned that such intense, short-term climate events will become more common.
