The name Apiam Animal Health and the logo for the company were inspired by the honey bee, which belongs to the Genus Apis.

Bees are symbolic of a team working towards a common goal. They are seen as industrious, hard-working characteristics: creating wonderfully efficient, meticulous, hexagonal hives.

Hexagons form a repetitive pattern, common in nature due to scalability while maintaining their robustness and strength.

It is Apiam Animal Health’s goal that all clinics, businesses and employee’s will work together towards a common goal, developing its team and building a successful, inspiring and strong company.
