International Bee Research Association

The International Bee Research Association (IBRA) is a United Kingdom–based charity and learned society dedicated to the advancement of bee science and beekeeping. Founded in 1949 by Eva Crane as the Bee Research Association, it adopted its present name in 1976 to reflect its international scope. IBRA publishes the peer‑reviewed ''Journal of Apicultural Research'' and the magazine ''Bee World'', and maintains the Eva Crane Library and Archive, one of the world’s largest collections of literature on bees and apiculture. Through its publications, educational resources, and archival collections, the association has been recognised as a leading source of information on both managed and wild bee species.
