NAICS 11291, Apiculture, is experiencing a surge in both technological advancements and consumer awareness regarding the environmental impact of bee populations. Increasing focus on sustainability and biodiversity is driving the adoption of precision apiculture, where sensors and data analytics are used to monitor hive health, optimize production, and mitigate risks related to diseases and pests. Hive management apps and AI-driven analytics are becoming commonplace, enhancing productivity and reducing labor costs.
Another significant trend is the growing market for organic and pesticide-free honey.
