| Summary: | The aim of the present study is to identify similarities and differences between French and Romanian organic apicultural enterprises regarding the legal status and age of the enterprise, number of honeybee colonies, distribution channels, types of organic bee products sold, profitability, export of products and certain socio-demographic characteristics of their owners. The results of the study reveal that organic apicultural enterprises from the two countries are similar regarding the legal status, the age of the enterprise and their profitability. The French and Romanian apicultural enterprises differ to a certain extent regarding the number of honeybee colonies, the distribution channels, the products sold, the export of bee products and the socio-demographic characteristics of their owners.
