Abstract

This work is the result of an ongoing research project, which aims to study the importance of beekeeping activity in the economic, social and environmental spheres for the community of the Friends of the Earth Settlement Project-"PAAT" in the municipality of Darcinópolis Tocantins, in order to mobilize actions that will alleviate the problems created by the presence of agribusiness installed in its surroundings. Beekeeping has become an activity with excellent opportunities to generate income for family farming, it is seen that in a short time, the beekeeping activity provides, with low investments, a great sustainable and profitable opportunity driven by the great floristic potential of the cerrado. PAAT is a rural settlement, where the basis of its sustainability comes from family farming and agro-extraction, plant and animal. This research is being carried out with the participation of families who work with rational bee rearing and others who have not yet adopted beekeeping as a way of working, but who are sympathetic to this activity.
