WELCOME TO APICONSULT

THE BEEKEEPING RESOURCE CENTRE

The purpose of this website is to encourage and promote beekeeping through sharing appropriate information on bees and beekeeping methods and approaches. We aim to help more people, men and women, young and old and from all backgrounds discover the joys and benefits of keeping bees. We aim to share knowledge, ideas, create linkages and friendships. Our expertise is on beekeeping with both European and African races of bees with beehives in both Ireland and Kenya. We believe that knowledge sharing is a two-way process and that beekeepers in different parts of the world can learn from each other.  (see link to Free book below in English/French).
