BEEing Diverse: Inspiring Leaders in Beekeeping

Mark Your Calendars for September 30 – October 1, 2022

Third times the charm… We are enthusiastically moving forward with our annual event with the Beeing Diverse: Inspiring Leaders in Beekeeping as the past two cancelled years. We are optimistic about this one happening; however, we will be closely watching any and all situations that may pose an impact on the event. As in the past, if we deem it necessary for the health and safety of travelers, ourselves and the audience we will cancel it again. Hopefully not though.
