Abstract

Beekeeping is an economic activity that uses the natural environment without forest degradation and promotes the service of pollination of the species cultivated in an anthropic environment. The purpose of this study was to analyze honey production in Mato Grosso biomes of the Amazon, Cerrado (Bushlands) and Pantanal (Swamplands) from 2002 to 2011. Information on the production of honey by each municipality was obtained from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics database (IBGE). The delimitation of the municipalities for each biome was defined according to IBGE. The production of honey was the greatest in the Amazon, with 46.88% of the State production and the participation of 58 municipalities from this biome; Cerrado (Bushlands) produced 42% of the State’s honey with the participation of 50 producing municipalities, and Pantanal (Swamplands) produced 10.82% of the honey with 8 municipalities. We conclude that the Mato Grosso biomes showed beekeeping potential, with greater productive capacity in Pantanal (Swamplands) due to its higher productivity rate.
