Will there be a 2008 Beekeeping Institute at Young Harris, Georgia? If so, does anyone know dates, times, etc?

I just e-mailed an inquiry to Ms. Bridges at UGA. I'll let you know what she says.

I'm pretty sure I heard May 17 - 18. Don't mark your calendar until you've heard back from Detsy Bridges.

The dates have been set for May 15-17, 2008. Keep checking Dr. Delaplane's web site for additional information (probably not until around March). I will make sure you are on my email list so when information is available you will get it. You can look at last year's program and see what motels are available if you want to plan ahead. Hope to see you there.

...Bump...
I received an e-mail from Detsy Bridges with a PDF file attached which includes the "2008 Beekeeping Institute Program & Registration Information".
Looks like a terrific line-up! The dates are May 15 - 17 at Young Harris College.
If anyone is interested, PM me and I can e-mail you a copy of the file.

Jim and Fred I'm also signed up to attend maybe we will run into one another. I've been planning to do this for 3 years now.

Glad to hear you are coming. I hope to see you there as well. Look for a big guy that wears black reading glasses and doesn't have a lot of hair. :)

The Bee Institute at Young Harris was absolutly excellent. Great speakers including Kim Flottum from Bee Culture Magazine, and Dr. Keith Delaplane from The University of Georgia, and many others. I enjoyed meeting some of our BeeSource folks there as well. My wife and I both entered the Georgia Master Beekeeper Program and as of today...we both made it through the first level written and practical exams. Now we are both "certified." Funny...some of my friends have been saying I was "certifiable" for a long time now. This event was without a doubt one of the best bee schools I have ever attended. Thanks to all who helped to make this an outstanding event. And...thanks to my BeeSource friends for letting us know about it.
