Annual Convention 2022 – Registration now open

As you know, the NSFGA 2022 Annual Convention on January 26 has morphed from an in-person to a hybrid to a fully virtual event over the space of a few weeks.  The Annual Convention Committee has worked hard to make this Convention a success and with the help of Jeff Wentzell (NSDA), it has become a reality.  We would therefore warmly welcome you to register for the 2022 Annual Convention as there are many excellent speakers and sessions that are relevant and practical so you won’t want to miss them.  Visit the event page to register for the Convention.  On the event page you can check out the agenda, speakers and sessions in the event.

Pesticide points will be awarded under NS Environment course T2058 and is worth 2.5 points (0.5 pts in Labelling and 2.0 pts in Pest Management). Points are awarded to specific sessions listed in the agenda and tuning-in is mandatory to qualify for points.

We really look forward to having you join us on January 26th.  If you have any problems with the registration, please don’t hesitate to contact me and, with Jeff’s help, we’ll get it sorted out.

Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

Video: Alberta Honey: A Day at Molenkamp Honey Farms

When was the last time you read the label on your honey?

We spent a day at Molenkamp Honey Farms with Michael Molenkamp, who has been keeping bees for 17 seasons and runs three to four thousand hives. In mid-September, he was finishing treatments and getting his bees ready for winter, and he walked us through how Alberta honey gets made.

Alberta has just 150 commercial beekeepers running 300,000 colonies, and together they produce 40% of Canada’s honey. Long summer days and golden canola fields give Alberta honey a light flavour that’s hard to match anywhere else.

Molenkamp calls Alberta beekeepers some of the most resilient farmers he knows. There’s plenty of Alberta honey to go around, but a lot on our shelves isn’t from here, so his ask is simple. Give the label a second look and choose honey made by Alberta beekeepers, or buy straight from a beekeeper near you.
