Cover publication "El maravilloso mundo de las abejas latinas"

Usually when we think of honey and bees our mind jumps straight to the European honey bees. But South and Central America also have hundreds of species of stingless native honey producing bees. They can be found from Mexico all the way down to Argentina.

The vast diversity between these bees is what makes them so special. They each have their own unique ways of producing honey and have a rich history with the indigenous cultures of Latin America.
