The Eastern Apicultural Society annual conference will be held in West Chester, Pennsylvania this year.

In addition to talks and beeyard seminars with some of the best-known names in beekeeping in the U.S. and abroad — Michael Palmer, Tom Seeley and our own Virginia Tech honey bee specialist Rick Fell, among many others — EAS is offering specialized short courses for beginners through advanced, as well as master beekeeper certification courses, tests and field exams.

Full conference and short course registration is $250. Short courses alone are $175, and conference registration only is $175. Non-members must purchase a one-year EAS membership for $25.

Conference schedules, course descriptions, speaker bios and registration information are available at www.easternapiculture.org.
