The objective of this study was to characterize the types of beekeepers in the state of Morelos, México, based on the use of technology components (TC), and socioeconomic and productive factors in order to generate information to design recommendations to support beekeeping. A questionnaire was designed and applied to a sample of 116 beekeeping units, socioeconomic data and information about TC for colony management, genetics, nutrition and health were obtained, from these information 18 original variables, and 6 technological index were defined and used to stratify the beekeeping productive units (BPU) applying multivariate methods using principal component and cluster analyses. To characterize and compare the resulting beekeeper groups an analysis of variance under a completely random model for continuous variables and a homogeneity test for categorical variables were performed to detect differences between groups. Four factors were detected that explain 70 % of the variance, and because of the factorial load of the variables analyzed, the factors were named as: 1) Productive capacity of the BPU, 2) Health status of the BPU, 3) Beekeeper capacities and 4) Management of the BPU. Three types of beekeepers were identified; small beekeepers with low technological level (55 %), large beekeepers with intermediate technological level (9 %) and medium beekeepers with intermediate technological level (35 %). The typology obtained may be useful to generate differentiated public policies to increase the use of technological innovations to improve the efficiency and productivity of the beekeeping units.
