Latest research advancements, round tables, exhibition of beekeeping equipment and hive products… APIMONDIA is set to gather in Chile from September 4 to 8 more than 10,000 researchers, beekeepers, and stakeholders from the beekeeping world coming from 170 countries. This 48th APIMONDIA congress will address the following themes: Sustainable beekeeping in a changing world Environmentally friendly beekeeping can be sustainable and profitable, even as climate change makes beekeeping more challenging. Value-added hive products In addition to honey and wax, the main hive products, propolis, pollen, royal jelly, and even bee venom can provide new income sources for beekeepers. These products are valuable food and therapeutic resources that contribute to the food and pharmaceutical industries. Land use, biodiversity, and beekeeping The roles that land use change and biodiversity play in the health and productivity of domestic and wild bees will be discussed. Beekeeping relies on quality forage, which is internally influenced by the evolution of land use patterns. In particular, intensive agriculture, urbanization, and climate change make it difficult to find good locations for bees and impact wild pollination. A delegation composed of Henri Clément, Secretary General and spokesperson of UNAF, Yael Serfaty, UNAF coordinator, and Gabriel Pena, in charge of the APIcité® label, will be present to represent UNAF. This global congress is a unique opportunity to:
– Attend conferences where experts present the latest research findings, innovations in beekeeping practices, and discussions on the challenges faced by beekeepers to keep them informed of industry trends.
– Exchange views and share experiences among beekeepers and researchers from around the world.
– Discover a wide range of topics related to beekeeping through presentations, workshops, and discussions, particularly on bee health, hive management, honey production, pollination, etc. The beekeeping world must unite more than ever to face the many challenges ahead. By participating in APIMONDIA, UNAF contributes to raising awareness of the importance of bees and pollinators for the environment and food production and, furthermore, fully plays its role in advocating for policies and practices related to beekeeping that benefit both beekeepers and pollinators.
