The success story: from "honey boy" to administrative director and experienced beekeeper.
The story of Afonso, the "honey boy", began in his childhood.
He lived with his parents in a rural community and spent his youth helping the family with daily chores.
He was invited to attend a youth group meeting in the city of Bocaiuva - MG. There he met Julio Cesar, who invited him to meet a local apiary. He immediately aroused great interest in beekeeping.
He got 3 hives to start his own beekeeping activities. From then on he learned a lot, gained experience, expanded his knowledge and continuously optimized his production. After three years, he decided to give up his formal job and devote himself entirely to beekeeping with more than 150 beehives.
Today, Afonso is not only a beekeeper, but also administrative director of our partner cooperative COOPEMAPI and vice president of APIBOC (Bocaiuva Beekeepers Association).
