The California State Beekeepers Association's summer field day brings together commercial and hobbyist beekeepers for apiary visits, hands-on hive management workshops, varroa mite treatment demonstrations, and honey judging. Held in the heart of the Central Valley's almond country, this is a must-attend for any serious California beekeeper.
