APIHAPPY

The company APIHAPPY offers swarms, queens, royal cells, honey, equipment, and beekeeping training in the south of Paris. It is a business born from Julien Perrin's passion for insects. This passion has allowed him to develop a technical beekeeping approach that is close to people in the southern Île-de-France region, specifically in Essonne and Yvelines. To address the challenges of pollinator conservation, particularly that of the domestic bee, they have focused their beekeeping practices on bee breeding. Their beekeeping aims to create connections and share knowledge. Their programs for multiplying rustic bees take place in Essonne and Yvelines, in collaboration with European beekeepers and researchers (such as the Aristabee research foundation, etc.). The website is regularly updated with articles on bee biology and offers training for both beginner and experienced beekeepers. The core of their activities is to promote their work in farmer selection by selling quality French swarms, queens, and royal cells. They also offer local honeys (produced in France) and related products directly or through local grocery stores, following a model of high-quality short supply chains. They purchase equipment for the operation of their farms and also offer this professional equipment to local beekeepers to increase their purchasing volumes.
