Florida beekeepers renew production commitments in 2025

Florida, Jan. 14 – The 17 beekeepers from Florida and the brother municipality Carlos Manuel de Céspedes ratified the commitment to battle again this year in search of contributing the greatest possible amount of products from the beehives and thus contribute to the collection of foreign currency for the country’s economy.

After a complex period in 2024, in which only 68 percent of the honey bee plan foreseen for the stage was collected, the territory’s breeders will try to overcome internal weaknesses, adapt to the impacts of climate change and look for alternatives in the face of defining deficiencies such as the lack of fuel to ensure the harvest and care of the apiaries.

Veterinary Doctor Ana Margarita González Sáez, representative of the Camagüey Beekeeping Business Unit in the municipality of Florida, pointed out that the flowering deficit in several places and the impossibility of transferring a significant number of hives to other destinations with better feeding conditions for the swarms due to the lack of fuel, also determined the low levels of honey, wax and propolis reported at the end of the previous calendar.

The board itself assured that among the motivations for working harder this year is the announcement of a new payment system for production with a strong hard currency component, as well as the will not to give up expressed by the 17 Floridian and Cespedean beekeepers who renewed their contracts with the State during the current stage.
