The 46th APIMONDIA Congress will be held in Montréal, Canada. APIMONDIA is the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations. Its major objective is to facilitate the exchange of information and discussions on apiculture by organising Congresses and Symposia where beekeepers, scientists, honey-traders, agents for development, technicians and legislators meet to listen, discuss and learn from one another. APIMONDIA meetings are fabulous events that offer great opportunities to learn about all the aspects of the beekeeping world: from morning until late evening, participants explore various exhibits and learn about cutting edge research from all parts of the world and have a unique opportunity to meet beekeepers and scientists from every corner of the planet.
