The Société romande d'apiculture SAR has represented the interests of beekeepers in French-speaking Switzerland since 1876. It is made up of the beekeeping associations of the cantons of Jura, Neuchâtel and Vaud, the Geneva Beekeeping Society and the French-speaking associations of the cantons of Bern, Fribourg and Valais, as well as their local branches.

The SAR is committed to all bees – wild and honey bees. The training and further education of beekeepers is a central task of the SAR. It represents the interests of its members and supports them in the fight against bee diseases.

The SAR publishes the Revue suisse d'apiculture, which appears 10 times a year. The journal was founded in 1879 by Edouard Bertrand, who edited it until 1903. It serves as a means of communication with SAR members and keeps readers informed of the latest developments in bee research, politics and other areas related to beekeeping. Readers will also find advice on good apicultural practice.
