Dear Bee Industry Colleagues,‌

On behalf of Asian Apicultural Association (AAA), it is our honor to invite you to attend the 18th AAA Conference, to be held in October15-18th 2026 in Fuzhou, China. The 9th AAA Conference was successfully held in Hangzhou, China in 2008, and the Fuzhou event promises to be another grand occasion. This premier event will gather 1200+ experts from 50+ countries to address critical topics: bee Biology, bee heath, beekeeping technologies and economy, pollination, apitherapy etc.

As primary insect pollinators, bees play a vital role in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem balance. Bee pollination not only enhances the overall efficiency and profitability of agricultural production, but also provides humans with nutritious and healthy bee products. The apiculture industry offers irreplaceable contributions to increasing agricultural yields, boosting farmers’ incomes, and protecting the ecological environment.

In recent years, the healthy and sustainable development of the bee industry faces numerous challenges. The shrinking of bee habitats, chemicals abuse, climate change, and the prevalence of bee diseases are all contributing to a deteriorating natural environment for bees. To achieve the sustainable development of apiculture, we must promote good beekeeping practices, diversify the industry through pollination services, apitherapy, and api-tourism, and protect the legitimate interests of beekeepers, thereby fostering the healthy growth of the sector.

China, with its vast territory, abundant nectar and pollen plant resources, and superior honeybee germplasm resources, provides exceptional natural conditions for the development of the bee industry and beekeeping practices. We warmly welcome bee industry colleagues from all nations to gather in Fuzhou, China, to join hands for the sustainable development of our shared apicultural future.

Sincerely，

Siriwat Wongsiri
