Good beekeeping practices and bio-security measures in beekeeping are useful tools that the beekeeper can adopt in the apiary to guarantee the health of bees, humans (e.g. consumers) and the environment.

GOOD BEEKEEPING PRACTICES

Good beekeeping practices (GBPs) are those integrative activities that beekeepers apply to obtain optimal health for humans, honeybees and the environment. Therefore, the implemen- tation of GBPs would have a positive effect on colony health and society, and at the same time could favour high produc- tion standards. Such practices are general measures valid for beekeeping activities and are globally accepted. They are not disease-specific and are meant to be implemented by bee- keepers in primary production of hive products. They are a tool for beekeepers to successfully address the challenges they face in day-to-day apiary management.

We are trained and thoroughly equipped to offer beekeping training and consultancy services.
