Abstract: El articulo analiza el efecto de la temperatura, precipitacion, superficie cosechada de temporal y cantidad de trabajo aplicado, sobre la produccion de miel de abeja por colmena en el Estado de Aguascalientes en la temporada de cosecha octubre-noviembre, modelizando una funcion de prediccion mediante minimos cuadrados bietapicos, y calculando elasticidades de corto y largo plazo. Se utilizo informacion agroclimatica recabada por CONAGUA de 1998 a 2008, datos de produccion agricola de temporal proporcionados por SAGARPA e INEGI, y estadisticas de produccion de miel por colmena obtenidas con una encuesta aplicado a los miembros de las organizaciones de apicultores que aplican protocolos de calidad e inocuidad. Los criterios de seleccion de las variables del modelo se fundamentan en la literatura sobre caracteristicas fenologicas de las abejas y de la guente de enctar de la temporada de cosecha, asi como en el analisis economico de la produccion de miel de abeja. The paper considers the effect of temperature, precipitation, rainfed harvested area and applied labor, on the production of honey per beehive in Aguascalientes State during the October-November harvest season. A forecast function is estimated by two-stage least squares method, calculating the short and long term elasticities. This study was performed with agroclimatic information registered by CONAGUA from 1998 to 2008, data about rainfed agricultural production provided by SAGARPA, and INEGI, and production statistics of honey per hive were obtained with a survey applied to members of the beekeeping organizations that apply quality and safety protocols. The selection criteria of the model variables was based on the existing literature regarding the phenological characteristics of bees and nectar source for the harvest season, as well as economic analysis around the production of honey.
