Call for organizers of IMYB 2027, 2028 and 2029

Dear fellow beekeepers,

We hope you all enjoyed an amazing 13th IMYB, which took place in Dubai, UAE! In case you missed it, you can look at the pictures and videos or read the report from the event on our website! As we are all excited for the 14th IMYB in Belfast in 2026, we are already looking for the organizers for 15th, 16th and 17th IMYB in 2027 onwards!

We would like to ask the candidates to sign up by the end of March 2025 at piza@icyb.cz. Afterward, we will continue the selection process with the respective applicants only. We want to select the candidate countries early on, in order to ensure sufficient preparation time.

We are thinking of 2 options – first, to have 40 participants countries in both years, or second, to host one year with only 20 participant countries and second with 40. With this approach, we want to invite new organizers with smaller capacities (and potentially further destinations) to have a chance to host the IMYB event. Thus, in your email, please, specify your preferred capacity. The duration of the meeting is expected to be 5 days and 4 nights.

Detailed information and videos about IMYB meetings can be found on our website www.icyb.cz.

All the best with your beekeeping endeavors!

Jiri Piza
