Rainfall boosts Morocco’s beekeeping sector during swarming season

Beekeeping experts in Morocco have expressed optimism about the ongoing swarming season, which aligns with the start of spring. They emphasize that the recent rainfall has played a crucial role in revitalizing vegetation throughout the country, creating favorable conditions for bee activity and honey production.

Industry stakeholders note that the improved climate has eased earlier worries about the impact of prolonged droughts, which had previously threatened bee reproduction and the overall productivity of the honey sector. According to these professionals, the current environment offers promising prospects for sustained production and positive outcomes this season.

Their reassuring remarks come in response to public concerns and parliamentary discussions regarding the possible decline in the country’s bee population and the risks facing honey producers. These discussions intensified after the government initially proposed lowering tariffs on honey imports a controversial move that was ultimately abandoned.
