 invite you to visit one of the great values \u200b\u200bof the national bee, besides being a woman of great intelligence and sympathy. 1. THE Beekeeper 1.1. You already spent several years in Beekeeping, how were your beginnings in the activity? Restlessness and chance. In 1975 INACAP offers the first year of beekeeping in the country, issued by a Chilean who had a career in Mendoza. I took it and so I went and found the topic very exciting as I went deeper. 1.2. "Today it is developing projects? Mainly improve the quality of queens without importing from abroad, through genetic selection practice. What I seek is hygiene, gentleness, productivity and resilience. 2. HISTORY 2.1. In 1985, you were in the city of Bearverlodge, Canada., Learning about beekeeping. What more rescues of their stay there? 1985 beekeeping season in the northern hemisphere, were practicing in the Bee Research Institute of the Province of Alberta, where for 5 years Tibor Szabo researcher developed a kind of bees more resistant to conditions in the country. The intention was to reproduce these bees in Chile to supply Canada, as conditions in our country are better and the season more extensive for this object. At that time, Chile was an oasis of health, Canada had Africanized honey bees, the varroa mites, and had to import bees and queens every spring. The experience was unforgettable: the queens produced, the suit and replicated in San Pedro de Atacama, after the quarantine is distributed in the country in various forms established by ProChile, manager of the initiative. Our country has benefited most: improved breeds in general, in a moment of departure of the modern commercial beekeeping. In those years of beekeeping as an economic activity was in the larval stage, with few notable exceptions. Unfortunately we can not export target the world, taking advantage of the excellent and unique health conditions we had. 2.2. In 1986 at the invitation of Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile, visited our country Mr. Tibor Szabo, an important and recognized Canadian beekeeper and researcher at the University of Alberta and Guelph in the country. How was the experience of being this person? Rather than receiving was learning opportunities facing the country. Tibor is a simple, communicative, creator of the Canadian bee. " He shared his knowledge with pleasure, his point was that Chile fabricate Queens for Canada. 2.3. What aspects have yet to observe and assess the visit of Mr. Szabo? National Beekeepers were not organized and their visit was very well used but a privileged few. Beekeeping as an economic activity not engaged in business quickly and efficiently 2.4. What results were obtained after the visit of this research? Apparently pioneered what we are trying to have today. In addition, an improved general genetic bees in the country with the queen breeders who participated very actively in the reproduction of these, one of the pillars of beekeeping modern. 3. NEWS 3.1. What made you think that events like the Third Symposium Beekeeping Chile? is very necessary to improve our work. International researchers are invited to guide us in the health problems that they have a long time ago and now we experience. 3.2. Have you been able to analyze in detail the themes and contents that are considered in this event, What is your opinion of them? We even artisanal level, with little awareness of bees as a lucrative activity. We have no strength. We little research and no permanent health guide. They are honorable and positive theses that have developed the Southern universities, and Bío-Bío Concepción. This past three years have seen a national level that is giving small beekeeper some fruit and hope to grow even more. I wish there was a minimal adjustment, inclusive, on handling and installation of beehives. |
