The Ministry of Agriculture and Irrigation reveals that the regions with the highest number of hives in Peru are Cusco, La Libertad, Junín, Lima, Apurímac, and Cajamarca. Beekeeping is important for the agriculture industry as it promotes better harvests, protects the environment, and contributes to the economy, particularly through increased fruit tree production such as avocados and blueberries. Peru currently has over 300,000 beehives, resulting in an estimated national honey production of 2,314 tons.
