Registration for ABF's Jan 6-10, 2026, Conference in Mobile, Alabama is now open and available at ABF website (abfnet.org).  We look forward to you joining us at the conference.  Though the earlybird deadline is October 31, ABF will allow MSBA registrants to receive the earlybird discount at our Nov 15 MSBA year end meeting – come to the ABF table and Lisa Marie or Fred will get you registered that day.  ABF Members registering on Nov 15 will receive a free hive tool!

The North America Honey Bar! Following in the footsteps of Apimondia’s 2025 successful Global Honey Bar event, the American Beekeeping Federation (ABF) will be hosting its first North America Honey Bar, as well as its annual Honey Show, at its Conference Jan 6-10, 2026 in Mobile, AL.  Maryland delegates, Lisa Marie Ghezzi and Fred Smith, will be collecting different types of honey from locations across our state to be tasted at the Conference.  Please let us know at our Nov. 15 MSBA meeting (or email us) if you would like your honey included!
