Biodlarna

Biodlarna is a non-profit association based in Skänninge, Sweden working on nature & wildlife conservation, animal welfare.

Sveriges Biodlares Riksförbund, operating as Biodlarna, is a national interest organisation for beekeepers in Sweden. It is a membership association with a voluntary, individual membership structure. Members belong to local beekeeping associations, which are grouped into districts that often match counties. The federation is led by a board of nine ordinary members and is run from a head office in Skänninge, Östergötland. Its stated aims are to improve the conditions for beekeeping, develop beekeeping as a trade and leisure activity, spread knowledge about beekeeping, honey and other beekeeping products, and the importance of pollination. Its public-facing work includes a free swarm phone service, free webinars on bee health, educational materials, World Bee Day activities, and advocacy, including motions to the Federation of Swedish Farmers (LRF) on labelling imported honey. The organisation describes itself as politically, religiously and ethically non-aligned.
