Louisiana Beekeepers Association is sponsoring a “Member get A Member” Campaign. This is to encourage and promote the growth of the Association.  The winner for the year of 2009 is Margaret Prell. She is pictured here with Alva Stuard, president of the Louisiana Beekeepers Association.  Alva is presenting Margaret with a plaque and a fifty dollar check.  Margaret is very active in beekeeping, she is currently secretary for both the State Association and
her local bee club, Tangi-Tammington.  Great job Margaret!


Beginning With Bees
?  The next time somebody new to bees asks, where does one start? Refer them right here to print out their own copy of Beginning With Bees.  Today, some of the technology has changed (such as pure beeswax foundation/verses plastic foundation) but the biology and behavior of the honey bee is right on!  Authors:  Dr. D. K. Pollet Professor (Entomology),  Dr. E. A. Cancienne, ARS (Retired)

Convention Honey Baked Contest: Honey baked delicacies are enjoyed each year at our annual Convention thanks to LBA members and the members of local clubs.
 

Convention Auction: Our annual after dinner auction has become a major fund raiser at our annual Convention. LBA members have been very generous with their auction donations. Several items have been hand crafted by members. Last year the Bar-B-Q Pit donated by Joel Carmichael and the Acadian Style Hive Body donated by A. J. and Billie Baham were great donations and they brought in large bids. Regardless, all donations are encouraged and are greatly appreciated by the Officers and Board of the LBA. Please help out again this year if you are able.
