What it is
The Mississippi Beekeepers Association Annual Convention is a yearly two-day beekeeping education event run by the Mississippi Beekeepers Association in Brandon, Mississippi. The Annual Convention page lists the 2026 dates as Friday, November 6 and Saturday, November 7 at the Brandon Civic Center, 1000 Municipal Drive, Brandon, MS 39042, and says speakers share beekeeping experience with attendees. The association’s home page calls MBA the oldest active agriculture organization in the state, with over 500 members and over a dozen regional clubs. The site keeps prior-year convention details, so it is a repeating program, not a one-off. This listing is for the education convention, not a local club meeting series or a supply store.
