HONEY production in France is set to hit its lowest level in history after poor spring weather kept bees in their hives.
Agriculture Minister Stéphane Le Foll has launched an aid programme for apiculteurs as he said that many of them were in very difficult situations.
Since March, he said apiculteurs had faced “exceptionally poor climatic conditions” that did not allow their bees to leave the hive as they could not come out below 12C or in rain.
The bees had had to use the hive’s honey reserves to feed themselves and, once that was gone, farmers fed their bees to save their colonies. They had been able to take off virtually no
spring honey, leaving them stretched financially.
Now, after talks with agriculture development group FranceAgriMer, Mr Le Foll is offering financial aid to farmers along with an easing of social charges.
In February Mr Le Foll launched a development plan to boost the honey-making industry in February as France imports twice as much honey as it produces – and the number of producers has
tumbled over the years.
