Beekeepers, scientists and interested parties from across the globe will assemble in Copenhagen, Denmark in September of 2025 for the 49th Congress of Apimondia.
We will celebrate honey in many ways at the Congress like Global Honey Bar, Regional Honey Map, Global Honey Talks & Workshops but honey will no longer be a category, and thus no honey judging, in the World Beekeeping Awards (WBA).
This change, to remove honey as a category in the WBA, was necessitated by the inability to have honey fully tested for adulteration and make awards at the Congress. The lessons learned from Canada 2019 and Chile 2023 were that adequate testing was impossible if we are to award winning honey at the Congress.
