Cerrado is the name given to the savannas of central Brazil. With an area of two million square kilometers, they cover an area the size of Alaska. Part of it is in the state of Minas Gerais, where our precious honey comes from.
Climate: The Cerrados are characterized by a tropical changing climate with two clearly separated seasons. During the rainy season from October to April (summer) much of the annual rainfall of 1100 to 2000 mm falls. The dry season is from May to September.
The biodiversity of the Cerrados is very large. With the expansion of the areas used for agriculture and animal husbandry, more and more of the natural flora and fauna is being lost. Only one percent of the total area is under nature protection. However, preservation can be promoted by giving the small farms the opportunity to work and earn money sustainably through beekeeping, so that they stay in their country and continue to rely on organic agriculture. The additional pollination by more bees significantly increases the quality of the plants and offers the farmers a whole new perspective. You can continue to farm organically and have an additional income from the products of beekeeping.
