Apimell 2027 in Piacenza: international beekeeping fair

Apimell stands as the leading international trade show dedicated to the beekeeping industry, hosted at Piacenza Expo. It brings together beekeepers, honey producers, equipment manufacturers and distributors from across Europe for three days of business, technical training and product innovation. The 2027 edition marks the 43rd installment and continues to focus on the practical needs of professional operators: extraction and packaging machinery, bee health, live material, nutrition, containers and hive-derived products. The 2026 show drew 24,000 visitors and 130 exhibitors, 21 of them from abroad. Held as an in-person event, Apimell welcomes both trade professionals and general visitors. Alongside the exhibition floor, the program features technical sessions and product launches that reinforce its role as the annual meeting point for the European beekeeping sector. If you plan to attend, book accommodation in Piacenza or nearby towns well in advance — hotel demand spikes considerably during the fair.
