What a fun and educational convention we enjoyed at the Southfork Hotel in Plano on November 6-8! We were very well cared for with comfortable rooms and gracious hotel service. Ted, thank you for all the care you put into the location of the convention. Beekeepers abounded from all over Texas. There was much to be learned, thanks to the fine speakers set up by Todd Youngblood.

On Thursday evening, our American Honey Queen fed us well at the Bee Buzz, in addition to the lovely light buffet provided by the hotel. We enjoyed a honey snack mix of cereal, nuts, and pretzels made by Rachael Seida. Collin County Honey Queen, Nicole Pettibon, served honey ice cream; Collin County Honey Princess, Allison Adams, served honey apricot bread with honey cream cheese spread. A table was set for Alamo Area Honey Queen, Coe Gwinn, who unfortunately was unable to join us at the gathering.
