APISLAVIA
Apislavia - the Federation of European Beekeeping Organizations - was created on its first Congress in Sofia as All Slavic Beekeeping Union in the year 1910.
The existence of the organization was under the important impact of political events. Its activities were interrupted not only by both World Wars, but also by the resulting situation in Europe after the Second World War. Apislavia was revived first in the year 1990 and only just on the Eighth (Restoring) Congress (which was held in the Polish town Kamianne in the year 1991) its activities were fully developed. This Congress approved new statutes and the name the Federation of Slavic and Danube Regional Beekeeping Organizations. The present name was accepted in the year 1996 on the Eleventh Congress in Moscow.

In the Czech Republic there were held two highest sessions of Apislavia. It was in the year 1927 (the 4th Congress) and in the year 2002 (the 14th Congress).
