15th Annual Nevada State Beekeepers Conference

Yerington, Nevada

The Hub of Lyon County!

February 20-22, 2025

Yerington Nevada: Nevada Lt. Governor, Stavros Anthony addressed and welcomed the conference attendees at the 15th Annual Nevada State Beekeepers Conference on Friday, February 21st, 1 p.m. in Yerington, Nevada at the Catholic Center.

Beekeepers are crucial because they actively manage honeybee populations, which are vital pollinators for a wide range of crops, ensuring the reproduction of many plants that produce our food supply; without beekeepers, the pollination process would be significantly less efficient, potentially impacting food production on a large scale.

Another reason why beekeeping is so important is that it helps preserve bee populations.

Beehives face a lot of challenges during the year — from cold winters to insufficient resources to human intervention. However, beekeepers do their best to help their hives survive through it all.

The beekeeping community also does a lot to battle misconceptions people have about honey bees. When people understand more about these helpful little creatures, they’re more likely to take measures to protect them.

Friday and Saturday, our fabulous speaker sessions Informed. Educated. Inspired! These key experts came from across America to share their research, experience and knowledge. Dr. Jon Zawislak is an assistant professor of apiculture and urban entomology for the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture. Dr. Cameron Jack of the University of Florida offered educational programs that prepared students for the many challenges associated with beekeeping. Dr. Garett Slater, Ph.D., led the statewide Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Apiary Program and supervised the activities of three honey bee program specialists in Dallas, Angleton, and San Antonio. Dr. Krispn Given is the Senior Apiculture Specialist in the Department of Entomology and oversees the honey bee breeding program at Purdue University.

Dr. Diane Cox-Foster is focused on understanding the mechanisms underlying host/pathogen interactions in honey bees and other pollinators and is currently collaborating on projects to develop disease resistant bee strains. Dr. David Peck is the Director of Research and Education at Betterbee in Greenwich, NY, where he assists in product development and research.

This was a fantastic event for beginners and experts in the world of beekeeping
