A populated beehive, occupied by an active colony of bees organised around a queen, is a key element of agroecological practices. Bees carry out essential tasks that go far beyond honey production.
Benefits of a populated beehive in agroecology:
– Ensures crop pollination, improving both yields and the quality of harvests.
– Contributes to strengthening local biodiversity.
– Helps maintain the balance of agricultural ecosystems.
– Supports and enhances agroecological practices.
Tips for attracting and supporting pollinators:
- Install the beehive near flowering and diverse areas.
- Provide a safe and stable shelter, protected from wind and bad weather.
- Maintain abundant food resources, including nectar and pollen.
- Preserve a pesticide-free environment to ensure the safety of bees.
- Encourage plant diversity to attract different types of pollinators.
