Beekeepers of the world invited to Copenhagen

The capital of Denmark, Copenhagen is not only home to one of the world’s oldest monarchies and happiest people, the city is also buzzing with bees on rooftops and parks. In Copenhagen bees are not just bees: beekeeping is used for social projects to strengthen local communities, and the importance of bees for the ecosystem is taught in schools.

Being a bee city, Copenhagen now invites beekeepers of the world to join the Apimondia International Congress of Beekeeping. The Danish Beekeepers Association, in collaboration with Wonderful Copenhagen Convention Bureau are bidding to host the Apimondia Congress in Denmark in 2021. The Congress is expected to attract over 5,000 international beekeepers and researchers.

Apimondia 2021 in Copenhagen would offer delegates an opportunity to participate in many scientific tours and excursions around Denmark. Including visits to queen breeding stations, mead breweries, local apiaries, Jacobsen honey, and the well-known company Swienty.

To follow the process and support the work, visit the Danish Beekeepers on Facebook: www.facebook.com/Apimondia2021Copenhagen

Members of the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations will decide where the 2021 Apimondia Congress will be held during the 2017 Congress in Istanbul this month.
