Every summer EAS conducts its Annual Conference consisting of lectures, workshops, vendor displays, short courses for beginning and advanced beekeepers, and annual business meeting in one of its 26 member states or provinces in the eastern U.S. and Canada. Over 400 people generally attend the conference each year.

EAS 2008 will be held August 4 - 8, 2008 at Murray State University in Murray, Kentucky

An exciting opportunity exists for beekeepers to help make spectacular volumes from the E.F. Phillips Beekeeping Collection at Cornell University's Albert R. Mann Library available to the public via the World Wide Web. EAS has donated seed money to the effort to digitize rare books in the E.F. Phillips Beekeeping Collection at Cornell University's Albert R. Mann Library. The Tampa Bay Beekeepers Association has offered a challenge grant where TBBA will match the next $1,000 in new public donations to this effort. This PDF file provides additonal details, as well as a form for submitting your donation. As these volumes are digitized, they will be made available at The Hive and the Honeybee: Selections from the E.F. Phillips Beekeeping Collection. As of the summer of 2004, the first ten volumes are available on-line.
