Disseminating research about bee products. A review of articles published in the Journal of Apicultural Research over the past fifty years

Abstract

Until the appearance of the Journal of ApiProduct and ApiMedical Science in January 2009 the dissemination of scientific information on bee products had been a haphazard business with each report fitting in where it could in a spectrum of publications ranging from medicine to botany and food technology to agriculture. The Journal of Apicultural Research (the flagship journal for the International Bee Research Association) gave a platform for a large number of such papers many examples of which are reviewed here.
