Science • Authenticity • Sustainability

NEXT EDITION:  📅 11–12 February 2026 📍 Fujairah, United Arab Emirates

The leading global conference where experts connect, share insights, and shape the future of our industry.

About the Conference 

Fujairah International Conference on Bee Research is a biennial scientific and applied platform dedicated to advancing honeybee science, sustainable apiculture, and honey authenticity—with a strong focus on arid and semi-arid environments.
 

The conference brings together researchers, regulators, beekeepers, technology providers, and policymakers to move beyond discussion and into practical, science-backed solutions that protect native bees, improve honey quality, and strengthen food security.
 

This is not a promotional event.

It is a working scientific conference where data, standards, and real-world applications matter.

Scientific Chair: 

Dr. Fouad Lamghari, Director General, FRC
