The CSBA + AHPA 2026 Joint Convention is bringing together some of the most respected voices in beekeeping, and we're excited to welcome Maggie Gill, founder of PHIRA-Science and an internationally recognized expert on honey bee health and Tropilaelaps mites.

Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of Tropilaelaps biology, detection, management strategies, and what North American beekeepers can learn from regions on the front lines of this emerging threat.

🐝 Big news for the U.S. honey industry.

Four of the nation's leading beekeeping organizations — AHPA, ABF, CSBA, and NDBA — have come together to launch the American Honey Promotion Initiative.

The goal: strengthen demand for U.S.-produced honey and explore a voluntary "100% U.S.–Produced Honey" verification mark that gives buyers and consumers real confidence in what they're purchasing.

A producer-led Steering Committee will evaluate promotion strategies, verification frameworks, funding models, and governance — and report back with concrete recommendations.

This isn't a finished program. It's a structured, transparent process designed to ask hard questions and build something meaningful for the long term.

From hive to table — U.S. producers are ready to lead.

This is a great piece to lift all pollinators!

The accusations you might have heard about nonnative honey bees aren’t backed up by evidence. In fact, there are plenty of ways bees make the world a better place.
