To date, the state government has distributed 38,000 specimens of high-quality genetic queen bees in order to improve the status of honey and promote its commercialization for the benefit of beekeepers.
On this occasion, men and women dedicated to this activity from the municipalities of Izamal, Tixkokob, Muna, Teabo, and Yaxcabá received more than 100 packages of these insects.
Epifanio Dzul Mazón thanked Vila Dosal for this support and stated that “it helps us a lot because with the Production Centers there is a way to get very good, strong and highly productive bees for our hives”.
José Alfredo Dzul Uicab, from Yokdzonot Kú in the same area, with over 30 years in the industry, indicated that Vila Dosal’s support allows them to secure work. “It’s the first time I’ve received this genetics and I’m sure it will help me grow, as I make the change of insects, as well as increase the new divisions that I already have prepared,” he said.
During the delivery, the representative of the Ministry of Rural Development (Seder), Subsecretary Luis Martín Oroza, recalled that each package consists of one queen bee and 9 nurse bees; he added that the Centers have been well received, as they directly support the sector and guarantee better income.
