Northwest New Jersey
Beekeepers Association

The Northwest New Jersey Beekeepers Association welcomes you to our inaugural symposium!

 

We’re hosting a slate of compelling speakers, who will discuss queen issues, how to calm a defensive colony, the business of bees, how to repair after a cutout, the new oxalic treatment Varroxsan, and Langstroth alternatives. Our Vendors Hall will offer the opportunity to pick up bee-related swag, and breakfast and hot buffet lunch are included! We will also have door prizes from our vendors at the end of the event. ​

Ticket sales close on Tuesday, October 28, so buy now!
