The scientific study of bees, including their behavior, physiology, ecology, genetics, and beekeeping practices.
From Latin 'apis' (bee) combined with Greek '-logia' (study of), literally meaning 'the study of bees,' following standard scientific nomenclature.
Apiology became crucial to modern agriculture—without understanding pollination and bee health, we lose a third of global food production, making apiologists some of our most important scientists.
