28th Annual Alabama Beekeepers Symposium

After being a virtual event for the last few years, the 28th Annual Alabama Beekeepers Symposium is back to being an in-person event. The symposium will take place Saturday February 4 at the Jefferson State Community College Clanton Conference and Performing Arts Center in Clanton, Alabama. The cost to attend is $45, and registration is required. Lunch and refreshments are included in the registration cost.

As always, the ideal of this event is providing science-based beekeeping information for Alabama beekeepers. This year, the symposium will feature two fabulous keynote speakers: Ernesto Guzman from the University of Guelph, Canada and David Tarpy from the University of North Carolina.

For those new to the world of beekeeping, this year’s symposium has the Beginning Beekeeping track. This day-long workshop is taught by professionals from the Alabama Cooperative Extension System and the Auburn University Pollinator Lab. Attendees of this workshop will receive a certificate of completion.

As usual, the event will feature a full floor of beekeeping supply vendors, from major name brands to local artisans. To make the symposium even more fun, a new Honey Show and pre-symposium Welsh Honey Judging Level 1 workshop has been added. Both of these events will be run by Brutz English.
