Our main objective is to facilitate the exchange of information and discussions by organizing Congresses and Symposium where beekeepers, scientists, honey-traders, agents for development, technicians and legislators meet to listen, discuss and learn from one another. Apimondia also aims to constitute the official voice of global Beekeeping Organizations on its incumbent matters through publications, advocacy, and representation of the sector to authorities and other related institutions.

Beekeeping is an agricultural activity that requires very little investment and can take place almost anywhere in rural or peri-urban areas. It is one of the agricultural productions that does not require land. However, it requires good know-how in order to manage bee colonies and to make choices of practices adapted to the environment. It is necessary to have a good knowledge and this is why integration of beekeepers and knowledge transfer is extremely important.​

Beekeepers come together in different organisations and levels. These Associations connect globally to regional federations and finally to Apimondia which is the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations.

Apimondia is a non-governmental organisation that brings together beekeepers, manufacturers of beekeeping equipment and a wide variety of scientists involved in apiculture, apitherapy, pollination, development and economics.
