Hello All, Last minute reminder of the Tri- State beekeepers Meeting hosted by Dadant & Sons. March 8-9, 2002. Iowa, Illinois and Missouri State beekeeping associations will be in attendance PLUS many members of the Midwestern Beekeepers Association but ALL BEEKEEPERS WELCOME!. Response was so great Dadant reserved a larger building. Although pre reservation was best I have been told last minute beekeepers will be NOT be turned away from the meetings. Plenty of room. Around 250 beekeepers are registered for Friday and around 400 for Saturday I have been told. The buffet dinner at the "Hawkeye restaurant " Friday night with Marion Ellis is full .I have been told but please check with Dadant if interested. 1-800-637-7468 I will be at the meeting both days. If you are on Bee-L please introduce yourself. Dadants are doing an open house from 1-4 on Friday and 7-9 am on Saturday with plant tours Sincerely, Bob Harrison Vice president Midwestern Beekeepers Association
