That's right people, it's not too early to be thinking about attending our Annual Conference and Trade Show. We are blowing off the doors and have more big named speakers lined up than ever before. It'll be the biggest conference in the midwest! Our 2 day event will feature talks from Jamie Ellis, Marla Spivak, Tom Seeley, Ian Steppler, and Lewis James Bartlett! We also are using some of our organizational funds to reduce the costs to our members!!! In past years you got a $20 discount for being a member. This year we have increased that to $30 off. We are also providing you with free pasteries, refreshments, and coffee each morning, and a free evening reception of hors d'oeuvres and apps along side a cash bar. We're not done yet so just watch along as we announce more perks and news about this event.

SHOW YOUR SUPPORT TO OTHERS FOR YOUR LOVE OF HONEY BEES AND THE IHPA
​
You can order one decal for $10 or two for $15 (make check to IHPA). You probably will want two since you will have two License Plates. You don’t have to have a decal on both. Or you could choose a different non-profit organization’s decal and place on the other plate, as well. Or, in the future you want a different type of decal you can easily change it or update your current decal.
You can see the Decal below and on the DOT’s website which is; https://iowadot.gov/mvd/vehicleregistration/vehicleregistration/Decals
​
This decal is made to the same specifications that the month decal is made. So, it should last a few years. Now, for those of you that do not want to buy the Decal License Plate ($5.00 in addition to your registration fee plus $5.00 renewal fee at the County’s Treasurers Office) but still want a COOL DECAL you can use them like any decal – in your vehicle’s window, bumper or even on your refrigerator.
The purpose of this decal is raise awareness of Honey Bees and IHPA in Iowa. Yes, we will raise some dollars too. All funds raised will go to support Iowa State Fair Booth renovations.
Thanks for your support of this fun way of showing off our love of honey bees and of IHPA.
