In his presentation, Herm\u00f3genes de S\u00e1 spoke about the work of the Peabiru Institute for over a decade with meliponiculture (raising of stingless bees) in the Amazon, reinforcing the importance of bees also in income generation processes and in environmental education with traditional communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcelo Peixoto is responsible for leading an initiative that aims to contribute to the structuring of the honey production chain with small producers in Maranh\u00e3o. In his speech, Marcelo spoke about the implementation challenges and achievements obtained in this process, detailing the ways in which the Vale Foundation supports beekeeping enterprises in the region and its experiments in the meliponiculture front. \u201cA company that intends to generate shared value in its operations and generate scale needs to look at the communities with which it interacts,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Herm\u00f3genes, \u201cas they are essential for pollination, bees provide a very important environmental service both for agricultural production and for the maintenance and sustainability of our ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
