The American Association of Professional Apiculturists (AAPA) is an organization consisting of professors, state apiarists, scientists and students who all study and work with honey bees (Apis mellifera). The goals of the AAPA focus on three major areas: 1) promoting communication within and between industry, academia, and the beekeeping community; 2) developing and fostering research on fundamental and applied questions to gain a greater understanding of bee biology in an aim to assist and improve the beekeeping industry; and 3) creating a venue to rapidly share new techniques and current research to advance the field.
