At 11 years old, I was moving with livestock right up to Burgos. <strong>Beekeeping is in my family.<\/strong> It all started with my grandfather\u2019s family, when they lived in the village of El Collado, in the interior of Valencia. They had hives for honey, to use as a natural sweetener. For my grandfather it started out as a hobby, and for my father too, but then when came along and I liked it\u2026<\/li>\n<li><strong>What\u2019s it like working with beehives?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The season\u2019s started now and the bees need a lot attention to make sure they\u2019re in good health. You\u2019ve got the changes in temperature, the hot weather comes early, but then it turns cold. There are thefts too. <strong>Every day is a challenge.<\/strong> In the past, you could leave the hives to themselves and the bees would make honey. Now you have to pay much more attention to them, because they don\u2019t make honey and they even end up dying. It\u2019s difficult. The bees are out in the open \u2013 it\u2019s something you can\u2019t control. Everything within a radius of 5km can affect them.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>How many hives does your family have?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Right now, we\u2019ve got around 300. We\u2019ve had up to 600, but this is a very bad year, in which we\u2019ve seen high mortality. It\u2019s been very hard and you can see 40 or 50 dead hives in a day. It\u2019s very hard.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Do you know why?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are a lot of factors in play. It\u2019s happening right across the beekeeping community: we\u2019ve ended up with 50%, some others with more. \u00a0There\u2019s a lot of talk about the parasite Varroa, but it\u2019s not just that. Varroa weakens them, it\u2019s also a vehicle for other pathogens, and then you\u2019ve got the use of pesticides. The diseases start when broods are being produced and it\u2019s hard to counteract that. And then, of course, you\u2019ve got climate change: today it\u2019s hot, tomorrow it\u2019s cold, next it\u2019s raining and then we\u2019re at 40 degrees. All that means that the bees don\u2019t feed properly. Then you\u2019ve got technology. There aren\u2019t many studies in this sense, perhaps because there\u2019s not enough interest, but I know that if you get a mobile out near a hive, the bees attack the mobile. That\u2019s what I\u2019ve seen.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>What kind of honey do the bees produce in your hives?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The main types we produce are made from orange blossom, thyme, heather, sunflowers, and hydrangeas.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>And how do you get it to consumers?<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Via the cooperative called Melazahar, in Montroi. There are around 30 partners in the cooperative. We don\u2019t produce much in terms of quantity, but the quality is very high.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-129178\" src=\"https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-1060x707.jpg 1060w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/ccortes-vetceu-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0<strong>\u201cIf we can\u2019t save the bees, we\u2019ll go hungry.\u201d That was the message the UN put out on world Bee Day.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>There\u2019s no doubt that bees are a bioindicator.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cIf bee numbers go down, that means something is wrong with the environment,\u00a0and that has a cost.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>They also talked about the crucial role beekeeping plays. Does that publicity translate into support for the industry?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Right now, no. There are countries which pay beekeepers to maintain their hives. Here, we\u2019re the ones who pay. In a bad year, we have to pay out more than we bring in. The thing is that other regions in Spain have supported the industry much more than here, and yet the Valencia region is the true home of beekeeping, as can be seen in the cave paintings in Bicorp.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The key role that bees have for the region\u2019s biodiversity is beyond doubt and there many voices calling for support for urban beekeeping. And that\u2019s what you talked about in your submission for the European grant.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Yes. It\u2019s about researching environmental contaminants through the study of the drones in urban hives. My plan is to research this issue for my end-of-degree project.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How can we support urban beekeeping?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Veterinarians have to be involved. In Valencia, a project has been launched for hives to be put in place, and you can get free samples of the honey produced. It\u2019s a very interesting project!<\/li>\n<li><strong>C\u00e9sar, what would you say are the challenges facing the beekeeping industry for the next few years?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>There are the three key challenges for me. <strong>We have to learn how to live with bees<\/strong>, we have to lose our fear of them, because although they may sting you, the fact is they probably won\u2019t. Secondly, we have to put measures in place <strong>to prevent the theft of hives.<\/strong> Finally, <strong>we have to improve the bees\u2019 welfare<\/strong> by devoting <strong>greater resources to research<\/strong> into the pathologies that affect them.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-129184\" src=\"https:\/\/medios.uchceu.es\/actualidad-ceu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2021\/02\/cesar-cortes-veterinaria-e1613652772638.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"948\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>So, you\u2019re a beekeeper and a third-year Veterinary Medicine student. \u00a0How are you finding combining your work with your studies?<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s not easy, but what you keeps you going is that vocation you feel for veterinary medicine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFor veterinarians, solidarity and a respect for nature is in our DNA.
