Apimondia
Apimondia or International Federation of Beekeepers' Associations promotes scientific, ecological, social and economic apicultural development in all countries and the cooperation of beekeepers` associations, scientific bodies and of individuals involved in apiculture worldwide.[1] The name Apimondia is a compound word made from two words; api, referring to honey bees, and mondia, referring to the world.[2]
The federation issues a journal, Apiacta. The 2003 and 2004 issues are available online free of charge.[3]
Since 1897, every other year Apimondia organizes beekeepers' congresses, hosted by different countries.[4]
Apimondia maintains seven scientific commissions and five regional commissions for the purposes of furthering scientific understanding of apiculture and to facilitate exchange of information.[5]
The scientific commissions include:
- Beekeeping Economy
- Bee Health

- Pollination and Bee Flora
- Beekeeping Technology and Quality
- Apitherapy
