I just received my info package for the ABF convention coming up in January at Savannah, GA. I haven't decided for sure whether to go or not, but am very tempted. Last year's meeting in San Diego was very good, but then again so was the American Honey Producers meeting I atttended the year before. Unfortunately the meetings always overlap a bit and are usually held at locations that are inconveniently distant for one another. I found that the ABF has their info on the web at http://www.abfnet.org/Convention/news.html but have been unable to find any info on the American Honey Producers meeting. Such meetings are always a good way to catch up on the latest news and to meet other beekeepers as well as have a good time. allen
