European Professional Beekeepers Association (EPBA)

About Us

The European Professional Beekeepers Association (EPBA) represents the interests of all professional beekeepers and honey producers in Europe. Our mission is to support and advocate for the beekeeping industry, ensuring the sustainability and quality of honey production across Europe.

Our members span from the northern reaches of Sweden to the southern tips of Italy, and from the western coasts of France to the eastern boundaries of Romania. This extensive reach allows us to have a comprehensive understanding of the diverse conditions and practices across the continent.

Our motto, "You cannot import pollination," underscores the importance of widespread and effective pollination. The economic significance of pollination to both agriculture and society cannot be overstated, as it ensures the production of numerous crops and maintains biodiversity.

We are working for professional beekeepers and honeybees to make Europe buzz again!
