Summary

En este episodio de Querido Emprendedor, Ignacio Balderrama conversa con Laura Arce, apicultora de Costa Rica.

Destaca la comunicación única de las abejas mediante danzas para indicar la ubicación del néctar y su altruismo al sacrificarse por la colmena. Su empresa desarrolla productos naturales cosméticos y alimenticios, además de promover el turismo apícola para educar sobre la importancia ecológica de las abejas, que polinizan el 80% de los alimentos que consumimos. Laura comparte su pasión por las abejas, su formación en apicultura tropical y el valor ecológico y medicinal de los productos apícolas. Además, habla sobre los desafíos de emprender en este sector, la importancia del networking y cómo romper estigmas culturales para alcanzar el éxito empresarial
