This is the second year of this conference dedicated to the special challenges of keeping bees in Northern climates. We are happy to offer to our fellow beekeepers this educationally packed day that includes practical beekeeping information from our keynote speaker, Mike Conner. There will be many educational and informative breakout sessions. The conference will have something for everyone not just the beekeeper in mind. Vendors will be on site to meet all the beekeeping equipment needs of our attendees. Catering will be provided by Simply Superior, Northern Michigan University.
