We are bringing together a different layout for our conference this year as we return to a three-track schedule. This will allow for more topics targeted to each level of beekeeping. In addition, we have added some evening meals for fun and fellowship along with video and an ice-cream social.
We confirmed our Keynote Speakers, Dr. Frank Rinkevich from the USDA lab in Baton Rouge and Dr. Samuel Ramsey, award winning entomologist and founder of the Ramsey Research Foundation.
*****NEW***** We have just added a full day of Beginning Beekeeping Sessions on Friday. Our education team, Bo Sterk and David Westervelt, will be the instructors.
