- The pilot took place in the 2021–2022 season.
- The operation brought together 110 treated hectares, 11 farms, 8 beekeepers and 440 Apis mellifera hives.
- The programme covered Cerrado Mineiro, southern Minas Gerais and Mogiana Paulista.
- Operating experience is different from a productivity result measured in a scientific study.
A project between coffee and beekeeping
The Coexistence Project organised the presence of bees in coffee around a practical question: how can assisted pollination be planned without separating the crop from beekeeping?
The pilot connected area diagnosis, hive distribution, the flowering window and farm routines.
What was published
In the 2021–2022 season, Syngenta reported 110 treated hectares across 11 farms, with 8 beekeepers and 440 Apis mellifera hives.
The operation took place in Cerrado Mineiro, southern Minas Gerais and Mogiana Paulista — three production contexts that each require their own reading of flowering and logistics.
Experience carried into the field
A coffee programme needs to account for terrain, access to plots, farm management and hive availability. The pilot made that coordination visible in a published operation.
AgroBee uses this kind of history to structure the initial conversation and define what should be monitored in a new area.
Operations and evidence are different layers
The 110 hectares, farms, beekeepers and hives describe the programme. The scientific result of 16% higher coffee productivity comes from a specific coffee study and remains tied to its metric and design.
Keeping the layers separate makes the commercial decision clearer: the history shows execution capacity; research guides the agronomic question.
Science to guide. Field execution to operate during flowering.
The literature helps explain mechanisms and results. AgroBee takes that interpretation into a plan that considers crop, area, flowering, logistics, management and follow-up.
