In the mountains of Cajamarca, in northeastern Peru, an unseasonal rainy season is preventing bees from leaving the hives to sustain themselves. The apiaries are failing, but a group of women beekeepers finds a lifeline for the bees through a small forest nursery. "We are organized like a beehive, because if the queen is present, she gives the strength. We are all in," says Karina Villalobos, spokeswoman for the Hojuelas de Miel women's group.
