32 My today farm Situated in centre of France, I created my organic farm, 12 years ago to protect the current ecosystem Bees: my hives are settled close to orchads, meadow & forests, Forests: I planted 20 ha of nectar trees (Acacia, Chestnut, Lime) & I manage its, Medicinal herbal plants: I protect herbal plants to help my bees supporting naturally the potential diseases. Today I have 42 hectares 32

33 Beekeeping in France : Black Board French buys 41 tonnes of honey per year Production by french beekeepers : 16 tonnes per year 95% of Acacia Honey sold in France is from center of Europe : Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania 99% of sold royal jelly is from Middle east -- Turkey, Lebanon... 97% of beekeepers have 20 beehives and are in multi-activities 3% are in full time job - from 300 up to 500 beehives - no employee Each regions have from 1 up to 3 schools in beekeeping... students or for home farming 3 laboratories specialists in beekeeping : Bordeaux, Avignon, Sophia Antipolis and one selected to be the reference in Europe. 15 years ago, French has got the NDA of bee (the black) 33

34 Beekeeping in France : Black Board Beginning of 2015, South West (Toulouse, Bordeaux, les Pyrenees) have lost 90% of swarm due to pesticide In 1950, France was the leader in production of Lavender Honey - Due to sickness and insects, the production of lavender has decreased by 75% in France... Cosmetic Industries - Laboratories - Manufacturers of cake - they have from 1000 up to 5000 beehives on back of their chain The Future of beekeeping : - Supported by Government, Supported by kids - in urban area (no pesticide), no insect against them... - Beehives in industrial process... - Home farming for a personal production / development of schools - professional beekeeping will exist in country "low tax" + 34 great nature and climate
