Beekeeping in Brazil

Beekeeping has a long existence, from approximately 2400 BC. Ç. The Egyptians and Greeks developed handling techniques. Its introduction in Brazil was attributed to the Jesuits in the 18th century, in the territories that today border Brazil and Uruguay, in northwestern Rio Grande do Sul. In 1839, Father Antônio Carneiro Aureliano ordered beehives to come from Portugal and installed them in Rio de Janeiro. By 1841, there were already over 200 hives at Quinta Imperial. In 1845, German settlers brought bees from Germany (Nigra,

honeybee apis) and started beekeeping in southern Brazil.
