Resumo: | This study aimed to raise aspects of apiculture through interviews with some beekeepers of the Jequitinhonha River Valley Apiculture Cooperative. It is a descriptive-exploratory study. It was found that most beekeepers are over 49 years old and over 72% of respondents have incomplete elementary school. In 36% of the producing families, there is more than one member involved in the activity and the commercialization of honey was declared as the main sour ce of income by 64% of those approached. However, apiculture is practiced using both family and unfamiliar labor. Concerning the apiculture pasture, beekeepers reported a large share of aroeira and sylvatic flowering, with low yields per hive, totaling volumes of less than 500kg of honey in 2016. However, three beekeepers are able to produce more than 25 kg. honey by beehive and there are at least six beekeepers who have managed to enter production in regional markets and supermarkets. Our data showed a reduced number of total beehives in the apiaries, among which a significant percentage perform the removal of honey from the melgueiras in the so-called “honey house”. As for pest control, this is carried out by only six of the beekeepers. Importantly, most beekeepers do not adopt the use of winter feeding. From the survey conducted so far, it can be concluded that apiculture in the region is still characterized by rudimentary and shy practice. |

Trata-se de um estudo descritivo-exploratório no qual identificou-se que a maioria dos apicultores apresentam idade superior a 49 anos e mais de 72% dos entrevistados possuem o ensino fundamental incompleto. Em 36% das famílias produtoras, há mais de um membro envolvido na atividade e a comercialização do mel foi declarada como principal fonte de renda por 64% dos abordados. No entanto, a apicultura é praticada utilizando tanto a mão de obra familiar quanto a não familiar. No que diz respeito ao pasto apícola, os apicultores declararam grande participação das floradas de aroeira e silvestre, com baixos índices de produção por colmeia, totalizando volumes inferiores a 500kg de mel em 2016. Entretanto, três apicultores conseguiram obter uma produção superior a 25 kg de mel por colmeia e pelo menos seis apicultores conseguiram inserir a produção nos mercados e supermercados regionais. Os dados obtidos, demonstraram um número reduzido quanto ao total de colmeias nos apiários, dentre os quais, uma porcentagem significativa realiza a retirada do mel das melgueiras na chamada “casa do mel”. Quanto ao controle de pragas, este é realizado por apenas seis dos apicultores. Faz-se importante ressaltar que a maioria dos apicultores não adota o uso da alimentação de inverno. Pelo levantamento até então realizado, conclui-se que a apicultura na região ainda se caracteriza pela prática rudimentar e tímida.Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais2019-12-15info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmlhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/ccaufmg/article/view/1534610.35699/2447-6218.2019.15346Agrarian Sciences Journal; Vol. 11 (2019); 1-10Caderno de Ciências Agrárias; v. 11 (2019); 1-102447-62181984-6738reponame:Caderno de Ciências Agrárias (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)instacron:UFMGporhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/ccaufmg/article/view/15346/12997https://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/ccaufmg/article/view/15346/12998Copyright (c) 2019 Caderno de Ciências Agráriasinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessGonçalves, Juliana Rezende Sá MirandaSantos, Eliane Macedo Sobrinho Santos, Hércules OtacílioCosta, Igor CardosPaixão, Débora MartinsAlves, Janainne NunesNeiva, Ricardo JardimCosta, Kattyanne de Souza2020-10-05T16:30:14Zoai:periodicos.ufmg.br:article/15346Revistahttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/ccaufmgPUBhttps://periodicos.ufmg.br/index.php/ccaufmg/oaiccaufmg@ica.ufmg.br2447-62181984-6738opendoar:2020-10-05T16:30:14Caderno de Ciências Agrárias (Online) - Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais (UFMG)false |
