Apidologie

Aims & Scope

Apidologie is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to the biology of insects belonging to the superfamily Apoidea (Michener, 1944), the term "biology" being used in the broader sense.

The main topics include: behavior, ecology, pollination, genetics, physiology, toxicology and pathology.

Systematic research can also be submitted to the extent that it concerns the Apoidea.

Also accepted are research papers on the rearing, exploitation and practical use of Apoidea and their products, as far as they make a clear contribution to the understanding of bee biology.

Papers which are only of descriptive kind and of local interest are not accepted.
