Bee and Garden Conference 2025

The University of Nevada, Reno Extension in collaboration with the USDA Risk Management Agency (RMA) bring you the 2025 Bee and Garden Conference. The conference will take place at the Carson Valley Inn in Minden from March 20-22 and will focus on native bees and other pollinators, and the benefits of protecting pollinators for the beekeeper, the homeowner, and small acreage producer. It will also present useful support and resources to help beekeepers increase their hive viability and economic continuity through topics such as getting value-added products to market, USDA, Risk Management Agency insurance products, over-wintering hives, and navigating increasing regulations around apiculture. Topics pertaining to sustainable landscaping, water conservation, mitigating the risks of a changing climate, and the latest regenerative agriculture practices will benefit smaller acreage farms and ranches, as well as the traditional homeowner

The cost to register is $75 and includes pre-conference workshops, two full days of information and hands-on workshops, as well as a social mixer and poster presentations.
