Method

Beekeepers enrolled in the export register by region, as the bulletin prints them in the RAMEX column of its regional table.

Confidentiality

Threshold per beekeeper, using the programme's parameters, with one declared exception. A cell is not published when fewer beekeepers than the minimum report to it. The dominance rule is not evaluated for this series, and the indicator sheet says why instead of treating it as met. The figure in this series is the number of registered beekeepers, so each one contributes exactly one and the breakdown follows from the definition of the quantity. It still does not evaluate the dominance rule, for a reason that comes from the universe: a population has a single barrier (ADR 0027), and the register series that publish totals whose breakdown the source does not provide cannot evaluate it. With each unit contributing one, moreover, no cell that passes the minimum can have a dominant unit. This lapses together with the exception of its sibling series, on the day the source publishes how the quantity is distributed among those who report it.

Limitations

The series publishes the national figure and does not break it down by region, even though the source publishes the regional table: its regional cells describe the same beekeepers as the register's other series, so adding them to the table narrows the interval protecting an already published cell of its siblings. The export registry covers honey bound for the market that requires it, so a beekeeper exporting elsewhere may not appear, and the series measures current enrolments and not active exporters. In edition 9, captured on 2026-09-02, three regions print the missing-data mark in that column and print zero per cent participation in the same row, and it is that second column that states the cell's value.

Revision policy

The whole series is recalculated when the agency publishes a new edition, and the previous version is kept as an erratum with its reason.

Versions of the sheet

1. 1.3.0 · 27 September 2026. The record now notes what the series measures, so that the laboratory can check it only adds together series that measure the same thing. No figure changes.
2. 1.2.0 · 26 September 2026. The record's prose was reviewed against the rule that admits no hand-written counts: any count is now derived from the series declaration, left out where it only accompanied the explanation, or given the date and the reference copy of the observation it comes from. Statements about which years have cells carry the date of this version. No figure changes.
3. 1.1.0 · 26 September 2026. The record now also publishes in English its formula, its method, its propagation rule, its reference period, its frequency, its coverage, its first period and its revision policy, which up to this version were published only in Spanish. It also declares how many decimal places the figure is published with. No stored figure changes: the one published in the API, in the bulletin and in the download is the stored figure rounded to that precision.
4. 1.0.0 · 8 September 2026. First published version of the record.
