Mexican TV Star Celebrates World Bee Day with Hands-On Beekeeping Experience

World Bee Day: A Mexican TV Reporter's Up-Close Encounter with Urban Beekeeping Mexico City, May 22, 2025 – Victor Landeros, a familiar face on the popular Mexican morning show Venga la Alegría, recently took a unique approach to celebrating World Bee Day. Instead of a typical studio segment, Landeros ventured to Xochimilco, a historic neighborhood in Mexico City, to experience urban beekeeping firsthand. He spent the day at "Abejas de Barrio," a community project dedicated to connecting people with the world of bees. The video shows Landeros, clad in a full beekeeping suit, inspecting beehives alongside experienced beekeepers. He notes the importance of smoke in calming the bees, a detail that adds to the informative nature of the segment. One beekeeper, Sandra, explained the importance of monitoring the bees' food reserves, stating, "It's crucial for us beekeepers to observe that the bees are doing well and have sufficient food reserves." The footage gives viewers a close-up look at the honeycomb, revealing the intricate hexagonal structures and the queen bee. Landeros also highlights the contrast between managed and wild beehives, showcasing the irregular, almost coral-like, structure of the wild honeycomb. The segment concludes with a renewed appreciation for the vital role bees play in the ecosystem and the importance of environmental protection. Landeros's participation makes the topic accessible and engaging for a broad audience, emphasizing the need for continued conservation efforts.
