Dear bee lovers!
Continuing IBRA’s initiative to launch an ART Competition on
World Bee Day each year.
We invite you to take part in the 3rd IBRA International Art Competition.
This year’s art items should be high resolution photographs on
bees’ anatomical features!
This will be an online competition, and the winners will be the 2 artists whose photographs will receive the most “likes” from the public as well as from IBRA Council members.
The award for the 2 winners will be publicity through the IBRA website and journals as well as a small honorary remuneration of £200.
The deadline for submission of the photographs is 31 July 2025.
The deadline for voting will be 15 September 2025.
Awards will be announced during the COLOSS Conference in September 2025 and publicised in IBRA social media, the IBRA website and the Bee World Journal.
Guidelines for the submission of the photographs:
- The participants can submit up to 3 photographs.
- The photographs should clearly show an anatomical feature of bees (external or internal).
- With the submission the participant provides IBRA with the right to publish the photographs on its website, media or journals, but not the rights to print or sell.
- Colour or black and white photographs should be of high resolution (at least 300dpi) .jpg or .tiff or .png format.
- Each photograph must be named as follows: LAST NAME_First Name_1.jpg etc.
- All submissions should be sent electronically to [email protected]
- All participants will be notified of receipt soon after they send their contribution.
- Voting instructions will be announced publicly in due time.

An other open access scientific article this time from Journal of Apicultural Research:
Most would agree that conservation strategies should prioritise the future genetic resources of species but whether maintaining population structure is better than allowing complete admixture is the subject of some debate: See the whole article: #abstract" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/00218839.2024.2411483#abstract
