   • 2019 December 9, “La apicultura, alternativa al desempleo y a la crisis económica de Nicaragua”, in elsalvador.com‎^[1]:

     Los apicultores no solo aprovechan la miel que extraen de los panales, también han creado pequeñas trampas que colocan en las colmenas para recolectar el polen que se queda adherido en los pequeños cuerpecitos de las abejas mientras pecorean o recolectan el néctar de las flores.
