A Colombian avocado grower is making the most of the national government’s “Pacts for Innovation” program, setting up bee hives on its farms to both improve pollination and also produce avocado flower-based honey. Quindio-based Agua Hass, formerly known as Hato La Macana, is also undergoing a significant crop conversion program to plant more avocado trees and set up a new farm entirely dedicated to organic avocados.
