ITSAP good beekeeping practices
(copie 1)
The aim of the Guide to Good Beekeeping Practice is to provide beekeepers with a guide to good practice in managing their bee populations, with a view to protecting the health of their colonies and their own health, while helping to ensure the safety and traceability of the products they produce (hive and livestock products). Without replacing the Guide to Good Hygiene Practice in Beekeeping (currently being drafted), this guide sets out the regulatory requirements.
