Event Description
Join us for our Annual Meeting in January! Admission is free, but we encourage family membership to the NMBKA for $30 per year.
Special Guest Speaker is Tammy Horn who was an English professor for ten years until, as 2006 NEH Chair of Appalachian Studies, she began to study the potential impact of surface mining on honey bees. In 2007, unemployed, she began writing grants and working with coal companies to create Coal Country Beeworks. In 2013, she is now working the third book of the *bee trilogy*: Bees in America: How the Honey Bee Shaped a Nation (2005); Beeconomy (2012); and Apiforestation, The Future of Beekeeping (forthcoming). She will be speaking two times. The first session will be "Honey Corridors in the Appalachians" and the second session will be "Beeconomy: What Women and Bees teach us about local trade and global markets".

Gretchen, sorry to have missed you at the meeting. We had a great time. Check our events area for more information about upcoming classes. Our Abq Beeks meetings will start March 7th and we will be sending out an email in February to connect newbies with mentors.

Peggy, great to hear from you. We'll look for you on Saturday!
Lunch will NOT be potluck this year, but we will have food trucks available and there are many wonderful restaurants within walking distance of the church. Thank you so much for your RSVP.

Will definitely be there on Sat 26th. Have to work, can't get off on Friday.
Lunch will be pot-luck, as usual, I'm presuming? Didn't notice that mentioned anywhere, and the newbies might need to know,
Thanks!
