Description
Planners require solutions that address routine work needs and seems essential to improving efficiency and
productivity. There are a great number of different factors related to beekeeper activity as well the quality and
productivity of different bee products. The spatial analysis is a powerful tool for overlap and relates various levels
of information on a map, and consequently a very useful for beekeeping activity planning. This work proposes
and applies a methodology to potential beekeeping assessment in Montesinho Natural Park, a region in the
northwest of Portugal. The beekeeping potential maps were developed with the following data sources: legal
standards, vegetation, land use, topography, water resources, roads, electromagnetic fields, and some honey
physico-chemical analysis. The design and implementation of spatial analysis model based on Geographic
Information System (GIS) to beekeeping planning activities has already been described by Anjos et al (2014).
Spatial analysis techniques allows to define the potential beekeeper map supporting the beekeeper management
in this region. Anjos O, Silva G, Roque N, Fernandez P, 2014. GIS based analysis to support the beekeeping
