North American Honey Bee Expo 2024

The North American Honey Bee Expo was held from January 4th through the 6th at the Kentucky Expo Center in Louisville Kentucky, 2024.

I hope this becomes an annual event!

Many beekeeping suppliers are already frequently mentioned on this channel, and I've shared about their many offerings through the years. Though some were included in this video, my goal was to feature many new companies and individuals who are sharing new equipment and more.

You'll find the segments labeled with time stamps below, so you can go directly to whatever interests you the most.

Wouldn’t it be great if somebody went around the room and videoed all the vendors and asked them questions and brought their products to life? Wait… Leave it to Fred Dunn to make it happen. :-) It was great to meet you and your lovely wife!

[saf]

I am amazed that I watched this entire video but it was a fantastic tour. Thanks!

[lukex]

I’ve never thought I’d watch a whole 2+hr video about a bee convention. It was fascinating - thank you!

[dallasseaborn]

Fred asking the vendors ALL the right questions!

[ZelmaBees]

Shamed into attending, I did come away with new information following your presentation, although having missed the propolis session. Enjoyed meeting you and thank you for these vendor interviews.

[babinsbeestopbarbeekeeping]

For those of us who could not be at the conference, your video Fred, allowed us to learn more about the innovations in the bee keeping industry. Another wonderful video.

[viahoneybees]

Great video Fred. We loved watching all of the interviews, especially ones of some of the booths we missed. We were beyond excited to be the owners of that beautiful black locust horizontal hive from Ricky and Ruth at Horizontal Bees! They do amazing work and are wonderful people!

[bobshipley]

Great in depth interviews. What an amazing conference. Well worth the trip from Oregon. It was great talking with you again Fred and meeting your better half!

[bladeflapUH]

Thanks! This was great and really enjoyed watching from my Kitchen with coffee in hand 🙂

[tommychew]

Paused again at the 2:25 time frame, thanks for showing the Swarm Commander Blythwoods bees booth! That interview alone made my day, I'm going to give it a try. I'll let you know how it goes.

[mikep]

I really like how you did this video this year and last year so a person like me (5 hives or under) can see products and not able to go there. Able to see what we could use on our hives to make it better and get ideas and learn. Always like your videos and watched about 90% of them. I also like the quality of your videos and not bouncing around when you move. You always give me good ideas. Keep up the great work. I hope someday to go to the event. Mike from MN.

[MrJonb]

I always enjoy your expo videos. I seen things on your video I didn't see in person there. I was good to shake your hand a talk a bit at the expo. I can hardly wait for next year.

[Vogda]

I love it, I love it I love it. Thank you so much.

[altaylor]

Thanks for giving those of us who couldn't make it this year a sense of what it was like. This is the first of Kamon's conferences i have missed but for a brief spell you made it real to us. I agree with the young lady early who said your photography is fantastic.

[marktechsci]

Quite impressed with EZ PZ guy. Seemed very honest and down to earth whose main motivation was to make things better for himself first then sharing it.

I’m super lucky that I keep bees mostly because I think they are cool, honey is a nice benefit. I suspect there are a lot of backyard beekeepers like me who aren’t driven by honey production so can observe and enjoy our hives with bit less pressure.

[laurelreynolds]

Thanks for the great video and interviews Fred!

[kennith.]

Great that you had a wide selection of people and products you covered. Free seeds and they just launched in your state ... Thank you Fred.

[thebikerbee]

I need to visit the next expo! great, great info and innovators!

[TheCaliforniaBeekeeper]

I missed all the presentations so thanks for the segment with Phoebe Snyder. I would be interested in trying this out along with our Hydrogen freeze brood hygienic testing. Pleasure meeting you and your wife Sir

[michelearmstrong]

I was hoping you would do a walk around for those of us that were not able to attend. It gave us a wonderful snippet. THANKS!
