Baruch Lucero, manager of the Renaissance Beekeeping Association, said that with the affiliation of more members 789 join the organization from the the municipalities Tulum, Bacalar and Othon Blanco, the estimated production of 350 tons would be sent to a chain in the Midwest and some sold locally. He also commented that the production season officially began on Tuesday with an estimated completion in late May or early next July, also estimated that if weather conditions remain as recorded in the last days, will be favorable for flowering of the forests and thus production of quality honey.

Growing up in the number of beehives and producers are part of the strategies of the beekeepers in the municipality of Florida this year to increase supplies of honey, wax and propolis. By 2012, bee keepers in the town have set a plan up to 45 tons of honey and for that plan to incorporate some 350 hives and integrate additional two new members to the family of beekeeping in the municipality of Florida.

The honey harvest  begins it's  third month, but unlike in 2011 production levels will be lower in the sector,  a year will be difficult. The water shortage in some parts of the country since December drag is felt in the activity and the producers have been affected the performance of their hives. While last year's honey harvest was 15,000 tons, the current trend makes the total amount projected for the end of the harvest is located in the vicinity of 10,000 tons.

A multiple home for Cuban bees, is the last of the results of ten years of study in Cienfuegos. The research could contribute to the recovery of endangered species. The attachment was created by researchers so they can live  four queen bees in one hive.

The  producer  Manoel Damasio, a resident of Ramada City is producing valued honey in the city. The beekeeper now has the incentive that the city government with funds from CONAB and technical assistance offered by EMATER provides the correct production, extraction, packaging and selling the final product.

Cuban specialists have advised local farmers in the development and industrialization of hive products to generate, in addition to honey, other goods such as shampoo, cosmetics, soaps, syrups, creams and liniment, among others.

Weather conditions affect the beekeeping industry in the municipality, so honey production has a negative balance for producers in the municipality, said Cruz Benito Jaramillo, president of theTuxpan beekeepers . He mentioned that honey production has dropped by 50 percent due to the crisis affecting the sector

The member of the Salto beekeeping council, Prof. Juan  Volpi said "honey harvest has been poor, we do not know the future is going to happen, if the rains are very confident are normalized to the fall harvest."   ..

Hugo Manuel Ballesteros Sanchez , director of species under the SEDARI, said the goal is to harvest 635 tons of honey over and reach a production of 3.135 tons

Double  the honey production in 2012. This is the expectation of the Januária Association of Rural and Beekeeping  (Arajan), in the North of Minas. This growth is expected due to the restructuring of agro-industry association of more interest and activity by the producers.
