2017 WHPA convention
« on: November 04, 2017, 12:33:15 pm »
I am currently attending my first state honey producer convention.  Speakers include David Tarpy, Ross Conrad, Dr Marla Spivik amoung others. 
Almost 200 in attendance!  If you have an opportunity to go to one of these I highly recommend it, not just for the lectures, but the social interactions and networking in between!

Sounds like a lot of fun. I can almost hear the buzz of all those bee lovers! :)

Zweefer, that's great!
I love going to those type of events.  You can learn so much.  It's usually the latest on research and development. 
Spivak, Conrad and Tarpy are tops in their fields.  I am a little bit envious!
Did you spend the night at a hotel/motel?
(I hope your room had a toilet seat!)

It was other side of town, about a 20 min drive, so I did not book a room.  I have been named the delegate for next years convention in Wisconsin Rapids, so will be looking forward to the stay then.
