The aim of this work was to determine how beekeeping can contribute to the achievement of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). To this end, a participatory workshop was developed between researchers, technicians, undergraduate and graduate students (n = 10), during which the contribution of beekeeping activity was reviewed and discussed through three main components, in each of the 17 SDGs; which was compared with specialized literature on the subject. According to the results, the possibility of generating jobs and income in communities with gender equality and opportunities, contributes directly to SDGs 1, 5, 8, 10 and 16; ecosystem services such as the protection of biodiversity against climate change through the pollination of wild and cultivated plants, as well as the possibility of obtaining nutraceutical foods, contribute to SDGs 2, 3, 11, 13, 14 and 15; being able to innovate and integrate beekeeping as part of social and environmental education in a participatory manner in different areas, contributes to the achievement of SDGs 4, 6, 7, 9, 12 and 17. In conclusion, beekeeping can directly contribute to each of the 17 SDGs, given that the interactions promoted by these insects in agroecosystems give rise to sustainable productive diversification, social inclusion, as well as community growth and development. It is recommended that this analysis be practiced in various agricultural initiatives and projects, given that it is a requirement formally established by some national and international financial entities.
