Bee World is IBRA’s popular journal, available free to IBRA members. Bee World contains original articles and regular features. It welcomes submissions on all aspects of beekeeping and all species of bees worldwide. Bee World was founded in 1919 by the Apis club and publication was taken over by the Bee Research Association in 1952.
Bee World acts as a bridge between today's beekeepers and bee scientists, encouraging two way discussions. We strive for engaging content that draws in our readers. We welcome articles that place new research into a broader context and include background information. If you participated in interesting field research, please transport us there. We encourage authors to avoid jargon and communicate using a more conversational approach than typically found in peer-reviewed journals.
This journal accepts the following article types: original research articles; historical reviews; interviews; pictorial pieces.
