Casa Apis - Central de Cooperativas Apicolas do Semi-Arido Brasileiro is a central of beekeepers cooperatives and is the pilot initiative of a national program Projeto Apis (Apis Project) created by SEBRAE to develop and support beekeeping activities in the poorest rural areas of the country.
Casa Apis was established in 2006 in the town of Picos, State of Piaui by nine cooperatives of small beekeepers. It is based on fair trade, sustainable development and democratic self- management principles.
