This year's harvest hasn't been great for our beekeepers. Global warming is once again playing with weather conditions all over the world, changing the blooming periods and the rain seasons, bringing 2019 harvests in Mexico to a very low level. Normally by march our producers already have harvested some of the honey they will sell this year. It is not the case so far.
Also, the prices in the region we work in are reaching unprecedented lows, for conventional honey, as well as for organic honey. Our commercial contact is offering lower prices to the producers than in previous years, leaving them without the certainty of a steady income for the rest of the year.
That is why, our young beekeepers need your help more than ever! If we manage to fundraise enough money to pay for their supervisors' wage, they will be able to focus on improving their hive management and resilience, rather than trying to find new ways to obtain money for their families.
We hope to hear from you soon ;)
