For the last year I have served as President of the Georgia Beekeepers Association. I was reelected in October to serve another year. It's wonderful to get to work with beekeepers all over the state and to meet so many new people who love our favorite insect.
On Saturday, February 17, we have the GBA Spring Conference. The all-day meeting actually begins the day before when we have a GBA Board Meeting on Friday the 16th, followed by a catered dinner following the board meeting. Dr. Diana Sammataro who is one of our keynote speakers will be our dinner speaker and will speak about "Mites and Fungicides."
If you live nearby and want to come, the meeting is at the UGA Griffin Campus, 1109 Experiment St, Griffin, GA 30223. The campus is about an hour south of Atlanta. Here's where to register.
And here is the program:
This is the tale that began in 2006 in my first year of beekeeping in Atlanta, GA. ...there's still so much to learn.

I began this blog to chronicle my beekeeping experiences. I have read lots of beekeeping books, but nothing takes the place of either hands-on experience with an experienced beekeeper or good pictures of the process. I want people to have a clearer picture of what to expect in their beekeeping so I post pictures and write about my beekeeping saga here.Master Beekeeper Enjoy with me as I learn and grow as a beekeeper.

ReplyDeleteWe are in Central Texas and the Texas Beekeepers Association does a fine job of bringing speakers this way, but I wish we were close enough to come and sit in on Adam Finkelstine’s AI presentation. We are a little envious!
Thanks for the great blog. Joe & Lolita
