Abstract

Beekeeping has been established as an important ally in the ecological restoration of degraded areas, enhancing pollination and promoting the natural regeneration of native vegetation. The introduction of hives in areas under recovery contributes to pollen dispersal and increased biodiversity, accelerating the reestablishment of local flora. Furthermore, integrated reforestation practices with bee-friendly species provide continuous floral resources, strengthening ecosystem resilience and ensuring the sustainable production of honey and its by-products. Beekeeping also represents a socioeconomic alternative for rural communities, linking environmental conservation with income generation. It is concluded that the integration of beekeeping and ecological restoration constitutes an effective strategy for the recovery of degraded areas, combining sustainability, biodiversity, and rural development.
