The main purpose of these meetings is to provide an opportunity for
scientists to present their current work to those present as well as
to a worldwide audience via the American Bee Journal.  A second
objective is to get to know other apiculturists in an informal social
setting as well as in a structure of scientific presentation and
discussion.  For those arriving on Saturday, there is an informal
buffet.  Sunday will have the annual meeting of the AAPA (American
Association of Professional Apiculturists), optional field trips, and
of course more food.  Paper presentations will be Monday (8 - 5) and
Tuesday until about 1PM.
