Hi Doug,
See you there! It's a good school. There will likely be about 500 people there. There will also be representatives of all the major bee supply companies there, so bring lots of cash! The IBA also has nice logo clothing. An "Indiana Beekeeper" baseball cap is a good conversation starter in a lot local grocery stores.

Welcome! Indiana is a good place to have bees. Enjoy the bee school and make some good friends with your bee buddies there.
