Sustainable Integration for Beekeeping
Introduction
Beekeeping is an essential activity not only for honey production but also for its crucial role in crop pollination and, therefore, in biodiversity conservation.
For this reason, due to its positive social, economic, and environmental impact, the art of beekeeping is considered significant in all areas of sustainability.

Beekeeping faces significant vulnerabilities, including indiscriminate fumigation, ecosystem destruction, and climate change.
Challenges like honey adulteration, inadequate safety and health standards, inconsistent regulations, and weak beekeeping associations further threaten this vital industry.
Limited government support and awareness of apicultural products compound these issues, impacting agriculture and small businesses. Addressing these obstacles is essential for sustainable beekeeping practices that support biodiversity, food security, and local economies.
