Permapiculture: Preservation and bee productivity
Keywords:
honey bees, hive animal, extensive beekeeping, conservation, environmentAbstract
Permaculture comes down to respecting the valuable work of bees in their habitats; Thus, the objective of the work highlights the importance of permaculture for the preservation of agricultural ecosystems and productivity through the construction of the perm apiculture hive, for which the method included the review of all the work documented in workshops, conferences, interviews, manuals and other manuscripts by Oscar Perone, its creator. As a result, there are multiple advantages of Permaculture over traditional beekeeping, in which 4 times more is produced, at a minimum investment cost and with minimal work from the permaculture, providing the hive with 3 fundamental elements, space, reserves, and peace. It concludes with the urgency of raising awareness about traditional beekeeping practices, to recover the nature of large populations of honey Apis native to agroforestry ecosystems, contributing to the preservation of the species and the productivity of the hive.
