Abstract

The beekeeping is a farming activity orientated to the young of bees in order to obtain benefits derived from the sale of apicultural products and the pollinating action on the cultivates.
It’s a sector distributed mainly in Castilla and Leon with 16% of the total of operations, of which the majority is nonprofessional and permanent. They are followed in importance by Galicia with 14.3% of operations, and Andalucia with 13% where the non professional beehives with seasonal migrations are similar.
Within the communitarian perspective, Spain occupies the first place in the census with the 17.1% of the total of beehives of Europe, with an exporting volume of 27,9%; the main destinies are France and Germany. In the extracommunitarian plane, Spain imports honey from China and Argentina occupying the fifth place (3.4%) of the imports at world-wide level. Despite the level of Spanish self-supplying it reaches a 88.2%.
