Welcome to all
to the exciting world
of bees!
Invaluable source of information and services for all bee enthusiasts
Thanks to the indefatigable pollinating bees, beekeeping plays an essential role both in terms of agricultural yields and the maintenance of plant and tree biodiversity throughout the world. Scientists all agree that 35% of our food worldwide is dependent on their work! In addition bees provide different honeys as food supplements but also noble products used in apitherapy such as pollen, royal jelly, propolis, venom and wax. Via this website, the world's No. 1 portal for the apicultural sector, Apiservices offers beginner's articles, thousands of papers for professionals, scientific papers on the impact of pesticides on bees and databases on all topics related to bees, apiary techniques, treatments against apiary diseases, tricks against predators. Also listed are the coordinates of over a hundred beekeeping equipment suppliers for apiaries and honeyhouses, bee products, populated colonies, package bees and queens, veterinary drugs, service providers, apiculture trade unions and others. Welcome everybody!
🎉 Apiservices is celebrating its 30th anniversary! 🐝
On 25 March 1996, Apiservices was founded with a simple ambition: to bring together beekeepers, beekeeping technicians, providers and scientists from all over the world around their shared passion. Thirty years on, it is with immense gratitude and great emotion that we celebrate this milestone with you!
Thank you to all of you – bee enthusiasts, amateur and professional beekeepers, researchers, suppliers and curious minds – who have brought, and continue to bring, this adventure to life. Millions of visits, hundreds of thousands of messages exchanged on our forum, tens of thousands of classified ads: every figure tells a story – a piece of shared advice, a meeting, an exchange between scientists, a supplier’s promotion, a crane-equipped lorry sold or bought, a hive getting started or a harvest celebrated. You are the beating heart of Apiservices, and it is thanks to you that our community is still buzzing today with such vitality.
Thank you also to our 150 loyal advertisers: through their banners, their presence in our directories and their support over the years, they have played a major part in making this adventure possible and ensuring its financial stability.
To celebrate these three decades and continue our mission, we are proud to present our latest addition: ‘an AI chatbot specialising in beekeeping’! Available now at apiculture.com/fr/ia, this virtual assistant is here to answer your questions, guide you in your beekeeping practices and support you in your day-to-day work in the apiary. A new way to explore, learn and share our shared passion.
So THANK YOU all and long live our wonderful community!
May the next thirty years be as flourishing as the first. 🌸🍯

Learn how stingless bees quietly sustain Amazonian forests — and how a new law is changing what happens when they’re harmed.
You might think honeybees are thriving – after all, the honey industry is growing and its bees are well looked after by beekeepers. But not all honeybees live in hives.
This staternent gives the scientific background and concepts on why this mode of production leads to a violation of the definition of honey. Different strategies for the detection of this mode of honey fraud are discussed.
This publication explores the roles pesticides may play in bee health, examines the latest knowledge in this fast-developing field of research, and discusses the regulatory effort to determine the risk of pesticides to honey bees and other pollinators.
Using data from a USDA survey of beekeepers, this report quantifies honey bee colony movements over the four seasons and provides a basis for understanding how the transport of honey bee colonies affects pollination services.
Today, the many threats to honey bee health — including parasites, pests, disease, pesticides, and inadequate nutrition — make achieving this goal a major challenge.
Recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) and Tiny Machine Learning (TinyML) enable low-power, real-time monitoring directly on edge devices, offering scalable and non-invasive alternatives.
In this article we examine the factors, which provide suppression of the development of Varroa mites population in a honey bee hive, at temperatures below critical for mites.
Ascopherosis, Aspergillus and other fungal diseases of bees and brood are not only difficult to cure diseases, but also have a high degree of danger to humans.
Oxalic acid is a very effective active substance against Varroa mites if applied in the absence of brood and with sufficient humidity in the hive.
Effective control of them, based on knowledge of the characteristics of their life and reproduction, can lead to the suppression of the uncontrolled development of the Tropilaelaps mite population in honey bee families.
The well-known method of thermal action on Varroa mites has proven itself more or less successfully only in thermal chambers.
This work will take a few weeks, thank you for your understanding and patience.
