January 7th, 8th, and 9th : The North American Honey Bee Expo. Nah Bee, Naa bee. . Naw Bee. . I think one of those is how you pronounce it. Anyways, What is NAHBE? Is it a beekeeping conference? Is it just a trade show? It is more than just a trade show. It is a time where I get to meet friends, I get to walk in a crowd of over 3k other beekeepers.
This year I wanted to do it different. I've never just wandered the event, saw speakers, or went to a microscopy lab. This 20 minute video highlights some of the fun, some of my friends. .

Below are Links to some of the Equipment and Products that I use in the Apiary at Castle Hives. Looking for the best wax dipped boxes on the market, try Wax Dipped Boxes from Nature's Image Farm. Look no further than Lorob Bees for your Vaporizer, amazing customer service and products. Looking for a supplement, try Hive Alive. The number 1 rated supplement. Use code BRIAN10 to get 10% off HiveAlive supplement and HiveAlive fondant. Looking for an Insulated Hive, look no further than Apimaye.
