      The Georgia Beekeepers Association is excited to launch our first annual Winter Webinar Series! This new educational initiative will bring beekeepers together during the winter months to learn from industry leaders, share ideas, and prepare for a successful year in the apiary. These events are free to all GBA members, but registration is required.

      Our kickoff webinar will be on Saturday, January 23, when Dr. Garett Slater will give a fascinating talk about all things honey. Dr. Slater is a professor and extension specialist at Texas A&M University, where he launched the new Texas Honey Bee Diagnostic Lab. The webinar will be hosted by GBA favorite, UGA’s Dr. Jörg Mayer, who will introduce the speaker and lead the Q&A at the end.

      On Saturday, January 30, our speaker will be Dr. Ramesh Sagili, Professor of Apiculture at Oregon State University. Then, on Saturday, February 13 for our final presentation, we will welcome Cory Stephens, a queen breeder and beekeeper from Missouri.

      We are still finalizing topics, but be sure to put all three dates on your calendar now, and be sure to watch this space for our announcement of open registration.
