The 46th APIMONDIA Congress will be held in Montréal, Canada. APIMONDIA is the International Federation of Beekeepers’ Associations. Its major objective is to facilitate the exchange of information and discussions on apiculture by organising Congresses and Symposia where beekeepers, scientists, honey-traders, agents for development, technicians and legislators meet to listen, discuss and learn from one another. APIMONDIA meetings are fabulous events that offer great opportunities to learn about all the aspects of the beekeeping world: from morning until late evening, participants explore various exhibits and learn about cutting edge research from all parts of the world and have a unique opportunity to meet beekeepers and scientists from every corner of the planet.

The world beekeeping community is in mourning. Our president Philip McCabe died from a serious illness. His dedication and work in the Apimondia Federation have been exemplary. Rest in peace...
Dear beekeepers,
After the premature loss of our dear President, Mr. Philip McCabe, the Apimondia Executive Council agreed to commemorate him on 7th December, St. Ambrose’s Day, Patron of Beekeepers. We therefore kindly propose that you commemorate Mr. McCabe on this occasion so as to keep vivid his memory in our hearts and in the international beekeeping community.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
