SOCIÉTÉ CENTRALE D'APICULTURE
The Société centrale d'Apiculture (SCA) was created more than 150 years ago to contribute to the bee's survival, fighting ancestral bee practices (étouffage) which lead virtually to destroying strong colonies and thus to promoting the survival of the weakest strains. Recognized as a public utility in March 1900, FCC strongly contributed to the prohibition of these practices at the beginning of the th century. The organizer of several exhibitions and congresses, she was responsible for the creation of many bee groups.
The company has set itself the objective of disseminating scientific knowledge and their extension, has never ceased its mission of adult training at the Apiary School of Jardin du Luxembourg and more recently children, at the Pédagogique Pedagogical Centre of Parc Georges Brassens.
For several decades now, the bee has been threatened by pesticides used extensively in intensive agriculture, and today by introducing genetically modified plants (gmos) into our environment whose consequences could prove catastrophic for pollinators insects and thus for man. Recognition of the bee's essential role in ecosystems and the preservation of natural balances is now at the heart of this association's concerns for bees, honey and beekeepers. Join!
