My local county association which meets monthly is $10/year, but others are only $5 Our State Association which meets 4 times/year is $15/year The Eastern Apicultural Society which includes 22 states and Canada and meets once a year for 5 days is $20 The American Beekeepers Federation which meets once/year for 4 days is $25. I think they are all too cheap for what you can find out from them. George Imirie
