Dear beekeepers and bee friends
The World Federation of Beekeepers' Associations Apimondia is glad to invite you to the First World Conference on Organic Beekeeping. It is going to take place at the Sunny Beach, near the ancient city of Nessebar on the Bulgarian Black Sea coast, during the famous annual International Honey Festival of Nessebar.
The deterioration of the ecological conditions on our earth is preoccupying the people and also the beekeepers all over the world. Ecological beekeeping is a relatively new beekeeping practice. Therefore there is a big need to summarise the present knowledge and experience in the field. The aim of this first conference is to discuss all important issues of organic beekeeping and to help beekeepers on their way towards an efficient and satisfactory ecological beekeeping practice.
The conference language is English with simultenious translation into Bulgarian. However other languages could be considered (Russian, Turkish, Greek or others) if a group of minimum 30 persons speaking one of these languages is ready to register for the conference.
All topics concerning organic beekeeping will be discussed, specifically dividedi into six parts:
* Sustainable beekeeping and beekeeping in developing countries
* Beekeeping management
* Disease control
* Beekeeping environment
* Bee products and apitherapy
* Regulation and certification
