North Florida Master Beekeeper Program, FSBA, Chipley Oct 31 - Nov 2

Hey Guys!

I'm getting everything together for the Fall meeting (Oct 31st in Chipley). AS soon as a I get the flyer done, registration will be open.

Also - we will be giving out notes for each class this time, so there will be a small fee for a "sit-in" and study - which is different than previous years. And an additional $10 fee for on-site registration.

The MBP is at the same location and the day before the 93rd Annual FSBA Fall Convention "Headin' Back to the Country" . We encourage everyone to make a beekeeping weekend and attend all that there is to offer over these three days. Please NOTE: there are separate registration forms and fees!

UF MBP: http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/honeybee/extension/master_beekeeper.shtml
I will be sending another email in a few days with the link to the MBP flyer and registration - it is not open yet.

Thanks! Look forward to seeing your pictures! And yes, you get photo credit!

Correction, this is not part of the Florida Bee College. There is plenty to learn and do the three days.
The Florida State Beekeepers Association holds its 93rd convention, October 31 and November 1 in Chipley, FL. See details at http://floridabeekeepers.org
Note that following the formal convention will be the Third Annual Beekeepers Field Day and Trade Show. The registration form for the
convention includes the trade show "Saturday Workshop" as part of its package.

Beekeepers!

We have plenty of room to test for the Advanced and Master Levels at this week’s MBP training in Chipley (Washington Co – the panhandle). I have the BRAND NEW copy of the MBP Manual to hand out, and packets for everyone! BY popular demand, I compiled all the lectures and material into a “resource manual” for everyone to take home. I’ve got new forms and all the lectures are spiffed up too. It’s a great time to take a re-test or get a refresher lesson for those who test in March.
I will be sending another email and updating the website, as soon as the manual is published on EDIS.

Hope to see you there.
