In Côte d’Ivoire, no scientific study has examined the impact of climatic variations on beekeeping production. This study aimed to assess the impact of climatic parameters on beekeeping in the Poro region, a bastion of beekeeping in Côte d’Ivoire, using the annual production of 11 available beekeepers. The beekeepers’ perceptions of the impact of climatic variability on their productivity were collected from semi-structured surveys using a questionnaire. Snowball sampling was used to interview 162 beekeepers who responded to the questionnaire. The results showed that there has been an increase in average temperature over the years, with an average of 27.29˚C, and a deficit in rainfall since 1999. There is a downward trend in production for 2 beekeepers, while there is no significant trend for the other 9 producers. The correlation between certain climatic variables and honey production showed that the average temperature (26˚C and 27˚C) over the last seven years of production had no significant impact on beekeeping in the region (r = 0.02; p > 0.05). On the other hand, rainfall had a significant impact on honey production (r = 0.078; p < 0.05). Beekeepers have a good knowledge of the impacts of climate variability and recognize that it affects their activities. some adaptation strategies will be proposed to beekeepers to cope with climate impacts like the use of water tanks, transhumance, reforestation and changes in management practices. It is necessary to take into account the other climatic factors, all the environmental parameters and beekeeping management practices. %K Climatic Variability %K Honey Production %K Beekeeping %K Poro %K Impacts %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=141174
