International Bee Research Association Report of the Trustees

For the year ended 31 December 2022

The Trustees, who are also directors for the purposes of company law, have pleasure in presenting their report and the financial statements for the charitable company for the year ended 31 December 2022. The Trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and the Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

Aims and Objectives

The objective of the company is to promote the value of bees by providing information on bee science and beekeeping worldwide. The International Bee Research Association (IBRA) continues to collect, collate and disseminate information on all bees and maintains a network of expertise.

The association reviews its aims, objectives and activities each year. This review looks at what IBRA has achieved, and the outcome of its work during the year ended 31 December 2022. In complying with the requirements of section 17(5) of the 2011 Charities Act, reference has been made to the guidance contained in the Charity Commission's general guidance on public benefit when reviewing the aims and objectives and in planning future activities. In particular, the Association refers to the specific guidance on charities on the advancement of science and the conservation of the environment.

Strategies and activities

The Association maintains its services through the support of members, subscriptions, grants, donations and sales and royalties from publications.

Achievement and performance overview

IBRA continues to be very reliant on the services of volunteers and although financial performance is good it would not be viable to attempt to recruit paid employment. Considerations relating to appropriate long-term storage of archived materials, book stocks, website host and maintenance and management accounts are ongoing.

We report that in 2022 we achieved a net income of £8,851 compared with a net income in 2021 of £39,402. So, an overall decrease in net income of £30,551.

A decrease in the value of CAF Investments of £22,513 which is due to the drop in the value of units/shares from 99.880p to 82.430p

IBRA Offices

Bees for Development (BfD), 1 Agincourt Street, Monmouth, Wales, NP25 3DZ serve as IBRAs Registered office address and accommodate IBRA's archives.

The Trust has no employees, only contractors and no physical operations office.

IBRA collections

The IBRA library of historical books, IBRA's records and reference collection of IBRA publications, and a few historical artefacts remain in store at Quince Honey Farm. Work is currently in hand to identify the antiquarian books in store at Quince Honey Farm which are to be moved to Bees for Development in Monmouth or suitable alternative accommodation.

All of the artefacts in the IBRA / Eva Crane Historical Collection and known as the Historical Collection were donated to The Trustees of the Eva Crane Trust (ECT) on 25th April 2022.

The following terms apply:

1.The ECT will accept the Historical Collection on the understanding that it will preserve, curate and display the Historical Collection artefacts for the educational benefit of the general public and the continuation of Eva Crane's legacy.

2.Where the Historical Collection artefacts are displayed, a prominent notice should be included which recognises and acknowledges the donation from IBRA to the ECT.

3.If Quince Honey Farm should request to borrow an item from the Historical Collection to display at its own site for a specified period, the ECT should consider this generously, in light of Quince's support for IBRA over many years.

4.The ECT will honour the contract between IBRA and the Municipality of Kalmthout (signed 17 July 2014) concerning the display of items from the Historical Collection.

The IBRA Bee Boles Register was also donated to The Trustees of the Eva Crane Trust (ECT) on 21st June 2022 in its entirety - both electronic and paper files along with the management of the Bee Boles Register website. This donation will be appropriately acknowledged and managed in order to preserve and promote this important archive for the educational benefit of the general public and the continuation of Eva Crane's legacy.

Noteworthy News

It is with much sadness that we include in this report the untimely passing of Panuwan Chantawannakul, a member of the

International Bee Research Association Report of the Trustees Continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

editorial board of Journal of Apicultural Research and the Vice President of COLOSS on March 18th, 2022. Panuwan was with her family and many of her current and former students and is terribly missed.

Extension of IBRA publishing contract with Taylor & Francis (T&F)

Our publishing contract was due to expire at end 2021 after giving 12 months' notice. Because of the difficulties caused by the Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns we have negotiated an extension of 12 months so that the contract now expires at end 2022. A further extension was agreed to expire at end of 2023.

Publications - journals

Bee World

Our Editor, Dr. Robert Brodschneider, has done a tremendous job in revitalising this journal.

Four issues with 144 pages (each issue with the scheduled 36 pages) were published. These included twenty-two articles, seven review articles, three articles in the forum section, one book review, and one art and culture article. Issue 99(1) was a special issue on COLOSS - all articles open access.

Journal of Apicultural Research

Editors Dr Maria Bouga (Senior Editor) and Dr Melanie Parejo (Assistant Editor).

The third issue of Volume 61 (2022) includes an editorial by Prof. Pickard dedicated to Prof. Panuwan Chantawannakul, who passed away in March 2022. Her death is a big loss to JAR Editorial Board and also to other organisations dedicating her life to bees.

The fifth issue of Volume 61 (2022) is the Special issue on Stingless bees (Editors: Deborah Smith, Juliana Rangel, Maria Bouga, and Melanie Parejo). Prof. Deborah Smith was Guest Editor.

The cover photo of the five issues of Volume 61 (2022 depicting Melipona fasciculata forager harvesting nectar from a Cosmos flower at the research station of Embrapa Eastern Amazon Research Station in Belém, Brazil, is related to the special issue on stingless bees.

JAR's impact factor (2021) is 2.407. The Cite Score (2021) (Scopus) is 4.6 (i.e., the average number of citations received by articles in the journal over a four-year period).

COLOSS BEEBOOK articles

Four updated chapters have been submitted to JAR. These updated chapters are intended to replace the first version of the chapters online.

Apimondia contest best scientific journal

We gave an effort but without success, with the kind help of Prof. Pickard, Dr Fani Hatjina and Prof. Irfan Kandemir. EURBEE awards IBRA

IBRA offered a JAR and a BEE WORLD subscription to the best student oral and best poster presentation, which were awarded by Prof. Robert Paxton (IBRA council) at the Eurbee conference held in Belgrade, Serbia, in September 2022.

Current situation of JAR

The Editorial Board currently, consists of 16 members, including Prof. Pickard as Emeritus member, Mr Stuart A. Roberts (IBRA), and a new member, Prof. Orawan Duangphakdee from Thailand with expertise in Asian bees. Björn Dahle has decided to reduce his workload and rescind from JAR Editorial Board after he has finalized his assigned papers.

The Editorial Board performs regular virtual meetings, and its members are working in close collaboration with the Editors. The Editors of JAR and BEE WORLD are in close collaboration.

Regular JAR updates are also posted on social media to increase Journal's visibility.

Publications - books

We sold a total of 876 items through Quince Honey Farm (IBRA bookshop sales). This brought in an income of £8,148.50.

Of these items, 713 were wholesale sales to bookshops etc. which accounted for £5,615.62.

We also sold 501 books through Ligntning Source (Ingram) in conjuction with Northern Bee Books (NBB). This brought us income an income of £6,591.77.

2 of 16

International Bee Research Association Report of the Trustees Continued

For the year ended 31 December 2022

We invested £13,110.00 in marketing and production of new book. They were as follows:

World Meliponine Taxonomy

Nomenclature - Abu Hassan Jalil Geometry & Colours of Meliponine Brood Cells - Abu Hassan Jalil Indonesian Meliponiculture & Beyond - Abu Hassan Jalil Form and Function in the Honey Bee - Lesley Goodman Field Notes on Queen Rearing - Oliver Field Meliponiculture & Beyond in The Philippines - Abu Hassan Jalil

Abu Hassan Jalil has a number of books that he wants to produce. However, to make the most of this investment we need to have a strategy to promote these books in the right markets.

Website

The IBRA website (https://ibra.org.uk ) is the public face of IBRA. It provides information about bee science and beekeeping through its links to its journals, bookshop, FAQs and the IBRA Bee Boles Register. Members use the website to access all current and past issues of Bee World and Journal of Apicultural Research, while non-members can follow the links to our many open-access journal articles.

The website remained substantially the same in 2022, but behind the scenes many some aspects of the operation of the membership and subscription system are not functioning as well as they migh. CFC was taken over in early 2022 necessitating a change of support company. We made a smooth transition to We Grow Forest Foundation , an environmental non-profit organisation also based in India.

Policy on Reserves

The International Bee Research Association (IBRA) is a not-for-profit membership organisation that is primarily involved in three activities.

1.Production of a peer-reviewed international scientific journal on bees and beekeeping (Journal of Apicultural Research)

2.Production of an international science-based journal on all aspects of beekeeping and all species of bees worldwide, acting as a bridge between beekeepers and bee scientists (Bee World).

3.Commissioning, reprinting, production and distribution of books and pamphlets about bees and beekeeping to support the education and training of beekeepers, bee scientists and the general public worldwide.

To achieve our prime purpose of providing information to further the understanding of bees and beekeeping internationally, it is important that our Editors can attend conferences and maintain contact with a wide circle of bee scientists. In addition, commissioning and producing books can have a slow return on capital invested.

For these reasons and to ensure we can continue in business following any unexpected drop in income, IBRA's policy on reserves is to maintain our long-term reserves at a multiple of between three- and four-times annual turnover. This policy will be reviewed every two years to account for changing circumstances.

Public Benefit Statement

The Trustees have considered the public benefit guidance published by The Charity Commission for England and Wales and they believe that a public benefit is being delivered by the Association's work in promoting the value of bees, facilitating the study of bees and providing information on bee science and beekeeping worldwide. They consider that the Association's activities continue to advance education and research on bees and an appreciation of the value of all kinds of bees.

Structure, governance and management

Nature of governing document

The charity is controlled by its governing document, a deed of trust, and constitutes a limited company, limited by guarantee, as defined by the Companies Act 2006.

Recruitment and appointment of Trustees

The Members of Council who are listed on page 2, above, are Directors of the Company and Trustees of the Charity. They are appointed by vote at the Annual General Meeting. Every year one third of the existing Trustees have, in turn, to submit themselves for re-election.

Organisational structure

Council has delegated Executive Authority to a Management Team (MT), in effect asking the MT to act as Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for IBRA. The MT is responsible to the Council in all matters.

The MT, currently consisting of Trustees William Kirk, Stuart Roberts and Jacqueline Hart who met regularly throughout the year using video conference facilities. There is no physical administrative office.

Major risks and management of those risks

The Trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error.

Objectives and policies

The charity's activities expose it to financial risks including credit risk, cash flow risk and liquidity risk. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the charity's policies approved by the board of Trustees. The charity does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes.

Cash flow risk

The charity's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. The charity tries wherever possible to negotiate contracts in sterling to minimise exchange rate risk.

Interest-bearing assets and liabilities are held at fixed rate to ensure certainty of cash flows.

Credit risk

The charity's principal financial assets are bank balances and cash, trade and other receivables, and investments. The charity's credit risk is primarily attributable to its trade receivables. The amounts presented in the balance sheet are net of allowances for doubtful receivables. An allowance for impairment is made where there is an identified loss event which, based on previous experience, is evidence of a reduction in the recoverability of the cash flows. The credit risk on liquid funds and derivative financial instruments is limited because the counterparties are banks with high credit-ratings assigned by international credit-rating agencies. The charity's only large contract is with Taylor & Francis who credit the charity with royalties due on the previous year's uptake of articles from Bee World and JAR. This represents about 65% of annual income.

Liquidity risk

To maintain liquidity to ensure that sufficient funds are available for ongoing operations and future developments, the charity uses a mixture of long-term and short-term finance. Further details regarding liquidity risk can be found in the Statement of accounting policies in the financial statements.

This annual report was approved by the Trustees of the charity on 12 June 2023 and signed on its behalf by:
