NUMBER OF BEES REDUCES PRODUCERS IN Ajuricaba

In a survey carried out by the Department of Agriculture and Environment with data from the department's own files and data provided by the Animal Health Inspection and Defense Division of Ajuricaba, it was found that there was a great reduction in the number of hives in our municipality. In the year of 2004 had registered 294 beekeepers, with a number of 2100 hives. In a survey carried out in recent days, we found that the number of beekeepers increased to 178 and the number of hives now reaches 1000, a reduction of 40% in the number of beekeepers and 53% in the number of hives in our municipality.

In recent years there has been a lot of talk about the reduction in the number of bees in all regions of the world.. We know the great importance of bees in the pollination of grain and fruit crops and also in the pollination of native vegetation. According to studies and experiments carried out by the great scientist Albert Einstein, If bees disappear from the planet, man would also disappear within four years.
