This article looks at the conditions that enable beekeeper cooperatives in Mexico and Guatemala to contribute to sustainable development. The possible connections between agricultural cooperatives and sustainable development are first presented in a review of the bylaws of these organizations and their involvement in various sustainable development movements. A comparative analysis of agricultural organizations in Mexico and Guatemala reveals that their situations and involvement are varied, and these are then examined in greater detail for three fair-trade cooperatives. The findings show the key role of economic objectives to improve product quality in order to give cooperatives greater autonomy. However, these technical and marketing aspects also need to be incorporated into a more global program of bringing heterogeneous members together to manage the various local resources that influence honey production and particularly biodiversity.

L'article s'intéresse aux conditions qui permettent aux coopératives d'apiculteurs du Mexique et du Guatemala de contribuer au développement durable. Les liens possibles entre coopératives agricoles et développement durable sont d'abord présentés, en revisitant les statuts de ces organisations et leurs engagements dans différents mouvements du développement durable. L'analyse comparée des organisations apicoles de Mésoamérique révèle une diversité de situations et d'engagements, étudiés plus en détail pour trois coopératives du commerce équitable. Les résultats montrent le rôle clé du projet économique visant à améliorer la qualité du produit pour favoriser l'autonomie des coopératives. Mais cet engagement technique et commercial doit aussi s'insérer dans la construction d'un projet plus global faisant converger les projets d'adhérents hétérogènes pourgérer la diversité des ressources locales influençant la production de miel, et notamment la biodiversité.
