We are continuing to try some new ideas: A shorter, fuller day

MSBA is trying a new meeting format on February 14: we are ending earlier, offering a "working lunch," and asking you to participate in a survey about future meetings.

The February 2026 meeting will start at 9:00 AM and end at 2:00 PM, with one keynote lecture offered over lunch with complimentary pizza and salads. The meeting will be available via Zoom, as well. We are continuing our improved coffee and snack offerings.

Our goal is to respect beekeeper time, encourage attendance, and deliver beekeeper education in the most effective, efficient manner. Three vendors will be present, including Whistle Pig Woodcraft, which is taking pre-orders for meeting delivery.

About the February 2026 location

We are once again at a top-tier, modern space in the Interdisciplinary Life Sciences Building at UMBC, outside of Baltimore city, with free parking available. The nearest garage to the meeting is the Commons Parking And here is a link to Directions to UMBC.
