| Feb 1, 2017 at 10:25 | comment | added | Graham | @Beta And I did mention the actual question, didn't I? Yep. Had your comment continued "...but then I read the question and realised apiary wasn't relevant to what the OP wanted", then no worries. We're supposed to be answering the question, not the title. | |

| Jan 30, 2017 at 13:01 | comment | added | Graham | @TonyK Interesting. (Note to self: never underestimate what bizarre things people will eat. :) In that case though the local dialect word for it would probably be more relevant, considering the general use of "apiary" in the rest of the world. Certainly bees are not exactly "animals like cows, pig and chicken", and you don't need the same slaughterhouse process! | |
| Jan 30, 2017 at 12:38 | comment | added | TonyK | @Graham: Wrong again! Are they considered a delicacy in Yunnan because they are difficult to find, or are they difficult to find because they are considered a delicacy? The article doesn't say. | |
| Jan 30, 2017 at 12:16 | comment | added | Graham | @Beta "Apiary" is a place where bees are kept. So far as I know, no-one kills bees for meat. | |

| Jan 30, 2017 at 11:01 | comment | added | Sertage | @P.O. it is more for an average Joe. I will try to explain to some people about the main companies in the town I live. | |
| Jan 29, 2017 at 2:23 | comment | added | Beta | The first three words that jumped up in my mind when I read the title were slaughterhouse, dairy and apiary. | |

| Jan 28, 2017 at 0:15 | comment | added | Ron Maupin | @JoeBlow, in my experience, it is almost never two different places. I have participated in taking animals to variously named slaughterhouses or packing plants. After leaving the animals, they never left until we retrieved the packages of meat. The meat needs to be as fresh as possible, so the animals are slaughtered, processed, and packed on site. A strictly meat processing plant may be different in that they are usually used by hunters.

| Jan 27, 2017 at 17:34 | comment | added | Fattie | a "meatpackers" or just "packers" is the equivalent word in English, that's it. | |

| Jan 27, 2017 at 16:47 | comment | added | P. O. | @sertage Please can you precise if you're writing for an average Joe or for people familiar with the industry (or educated people who would be willing to expand their vocabulary by looking up a word) . It 'll help get you a better answer. | |
| Jan 27, 2017 at 15:36 | comment | added | Graham | @Kris Except it's not a word than anyone 500 years later would use for this. Let's assume the OP is not a time-traveller from 1600. ;) | |

| Jan 27, 2017 at 12:39 | comment | added | P. O. | On top of what tushar said consider also "meat processing plant" | |
| Jan 27, 2017 at 12:36 | comment | added | Sertage | I think maybe it can be 'meat packing plant'. Even both words seems to define just sectors of this kind of "Industry". | |

A slaughterhouse or a meat packing plant could be what you're looking for.
