Attention – trainers in developing nations

If you are planning a training event, contact us for free access to these resources by emailing info@beesfordevelopment.org

Tell us your story...

We accept articles and short reports on new or improved techniques, information about bees and beekeeping in your country and your events, and welcome comments and responses to articles we have published.

Articles should be 800–1,600 words in length and accompanied by images. Items can be sent by email text, as attachments in Word or PDF format, or by post. Please send digital images (as individual jpeg files) at the size they are taken off the camera. Images resized for website use are not suitable for printing. If it is not possible to include your submission in BfD Journal, we may place it in the Resource Centre on our website.
