Sponsored by Mason Valley Beekeepers - Nevada Non-Profit Organization
SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY
“Sadly, over the past 15 years, colonies of bees have been disappearing, and the reason remains unknown. Referred to as ‘colony collapse disorder’, billions of honey bees across the world are leaving their hives, never to return. In some regions, up to 90% of bees have disappeared.” National Geographic
“Bees are responsible for pollinating about one-sixth of the flowering plant species worldwide and approximately 400 different agricultural types of plants.” “One-third of everything we eat!”
We would like to invite you and your business to be a part of the 14th Annual Nevada State Beekeepers Conference. On February 22-24, 2024, beekeepers from Nevada, northern California and other western states will converge for a weekend of the latest beekeeping research and education. Mason Valley Beekeepers (MVB) (a Nevada non-profit) will host this event. The goal of the Conference is to provide the latest educational information to regional beekeepers; while keeping the Conference affordable to participants while promoting agriculture, the City of Yerington and Lyon County. In 2023, 150 beekeepers and interested parties participated in workshops and presentations on the latest research on honey bees, increasing pollinator habitats, and the business of beekeeping. Participants were from all parts of Nevada as well as northern California. In 2024, the conference will again have six hands-on workshops and well-known speakers from North Carolina, Illinois, Arkansas, Louisiana and Ontario, Canada. Beekeeping/agriculture related vendor tables are available. MVB members and friends contribute to a silent auction and raffle to help defray expenses to help keep registration fees affordable.
We hope that you will join us in making this growing conference successful by becoming a sponsor.
