The activity was supported by the Animal Health Coordination and the beekeeping technician from the Chame Agency, during which samples were taken for the surveillance and monitoring of diseases that affect bees, such as varroosis, nosemosis and acariosis, among others.

Also, during the tour of the apiary, technical recommendations were provided aimed at strengthening the management of the hives and improving production conditions.

As part of the follow-up, plans are underway to strengthen the capacities of producers through training and updating sessions on the proper management of apiaries, with the purpose of improving their production practices and contributing to the sustainable development of beekeeping in the region.

With these actions, MIDA reaffirms its commitment to health surveillance, disease prevention, and the strengthening of beekeeping.
