The GBA Spring Conference is February 13 in Milledgeville, GA at Central Georgia Technical College. Registration for GBA members is $40 for early registration. Tomorrow the registration fee goes up to $65 a person. Register today if you want to go!
Julia and I have been planning the meeting. We did not invite the speakers this year. The president gave that task to a committee of three: Jennifer Berry, Keith Fielder, and Andy Bailey. The speakers who are coming are Jim Tew, who writes a column for Bee Culture; Roger Simonds, who analyzes wax at the NC bee lab; Kerry Owen, a South Carolina commercial beekeeper; and David Westervelt, who is the state bee inspector for the state of Florida.
Saturday is an all-day meeting with the keynote speakers scattered throughout the day. There are breakouts also during the day - a mead making session taught by Tom Hill of Macon County, NC; wax products by Julia Mahood; how to run a junior beekeeping program by Holly Bayendor; and others.
The college is a great setting for such a meeting with state of the art technical support.
Hope to see you there.
