WAUSAU – The Central Wisconsin Beekeepers Association, in partnership with Northcentral Technical College, will host Beek Meet 2024 Conference in March.
The event was cancelled in 2019 because of COVID-19, but organizers are bringing it back with more speakers, sessions and attendee capacity.
Beek Meet 2024, to be held 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. March 16 at NTC, 1000 W. Campus Drive, will provide more than 400 attendees with access to speakers, sessions and vendors sharing the latest information and products to improve their beekeeping skills.
“Beek Meet 2024 supports our mission to help educate people on how to improve honey production and beekeeping,” said Kelly Barnes, CWBA president, in a news release. “In that spirit, CWBA invites beekeepers at all levels to join us to explore how to get the most from their beekeeping experience.”
Hives are impacted by pesticides, parasites and diseases such as colony collapse disorder, resulting in beekeepers losing more than 40 percent of their colonies each year, according to the nonprofit Bee Informed Partnership.
