The subscription cost for the newsletter below is $12.00 per year. This
organization is partially funded by AMS, and partly by the state of
Washington Dept Ag. It's sort of a hybrid and answers to several bosses. So
every one has to agree on something new. They recently moved (new address
and phone included below) and have been going through that, and WA, about a
year ago, was considering pulling their (half of the) funding, so they have
had that to contend with. They do far more crops than honey by the way, so
there are always other fires to fight. Linda Verstate (the contact person
there) is more than willing to help anyone interested. It is a good source
of information, especially on the import side of the business. It also has
pretty good updates on condidtions in several states and some regions of the
U.S. They have also been listed in the Who's Who section of our web page
for several years (and in the magazine), if you lose this.
