BeeFest is free for all beekeepers. We provide the food and space to set up your camp site. We ask that you reply here on BeeMaster so that we know how much food to buy.

Jim. I will be at the BeeFest. Thanks for the invite and tell me what I can do to help. I will let you know about whether I will be staying there/camper, or off site. I am really looking forward to it.

BeeMaster2

Bobil,
Are you bringing anyone? It is a family event.
Looking forward to seeing you. We are starting to plan out the schedule.
I will let you know.
Bring chairs, if you are driving.
Camping on site is the best way to go. In the evenings we sit around the camp fire site. Michael plays his guitar, we sing, tell jokes, talk about bees, life in general and have a great time.

   Sorry that I will not be able to make it Jim, would really have loved to but it will clash with my annual lawn bowls tournament which I have been patronising for over 20 years. The Bud get together which I managed to make in 2011 was I think in late April. A momentous event in my life even though I only turned up in " a little bleep can car " . Wishing it all goes well for yourself and everybody who attends .

  PS    The moderators must be running on auto as I didn't type bleep. Well done moderators !  !

Jim, Probably it will just be me in a 14 foot pull behind camper. My wife might be there Saturday night and Sunday. Her mother lives down there in FLA, about an hour away from you.

Did you put this on any other sites?
