APICULTURAL FLOWERING MODEL TO IMPROVE THE PRODUCTION AND COMPETITIVENESS OF THE PRODUCERS OF THE VI REGION, THROUGH THE CREATION OF MAPLE OF APTITUDE AND APICULTURAL SAFETY, BASED ON THE POTENTIAL OF FLOWERING OF THE VEGETATION (NATIVE AND COMMERCIAL)
By order of CEAPI – U. Mayor, an ecophysiological model was made to zonify the apicultural potential of the O’Higgins region. In the link www.edafica.cl/apicola the results of this study are published. This web page contains maps and reports detailing communal statistics for the O’Higgins region, with information on the ecological conditions that favor the flight of bees, and the timing and distribution of flowering of 13 species of beekeeping interest, including commercial crops and species. native of melliferous importance. It also includes the probability of occurrence of nosemosis, and identifies the areas free of sources of contamination that affect bees, in order to establish the areas with the greatest potential for organic bee production.
