2022  MBA Fall Conference Review

Once again, MBA hosted a fall conference that did not disappoint. On October 22, beekeepers trekked to Muskegon, where Orchard View High School was transformed from a place to educate teens to an agglomeration of all things bee. MBA VP AJ Menefee and the Muskegon Bee Club worked their tails off to make it all happen.

Those in attendance broadened their beekeeping horizons with excellent lectures and activities, kibitzed with old friends and colleagues and made new ones. It was everything we’ve come to expect from a conference and only one iota of re-living high school.
