This research was developed in the Municipality of Alamo, Veracruz, Mexico. With the purpose of promoting the use of the stingless bee as a pollinator in citrus orchards. Through an individualized interview directed to the producers, some techniques that are carried out for the pollination of citrus fruits were distinguished. The data were evaluated using the SWOT scheme, considering each question of the survey as a variable. As results, it can be seen that, with respect to the multiplication of stingless bee rearing for use in pollination, it places it ina position that corresponds to the first quadrant (Strengths-Opportunities), weighing the value of impacts on a scale of 3. That is, this municipality must use the internal strengths of the area in order to take advantage of opportunities and simultaneously mitigate or eliminate the effect of weaknesses, proposing actions to promote the breeding, multiplication and conservation of the stingless bee as a pollinator. From the citrus orchards of northern Veracruz.
