Recordings from the 2023 ABF General Session Are Now Available.

If you couldn't be there, or missed a talk at the recent American Beekeeping Federation conference in Jacksonville, FL, we got you!

PAm was proud to sponsor the first ever virtual option for ABF, and the recorded general session talks are now available on our YouTube channel, and listed below. 

We also had a great time meeting with beekeepers at the booth, listening to research talks at the American Bee Research Conference, discussing preparedness for the Tropilaelaps. mites, and giving away an original George Hansen encaustic painting at the banquet. It was a packed week!
