The Fredericton Exhibition 2007 ran 2 - 8 September, and volunteers from the Central Beekeepers Alliance went in on the Saturday morning, 1 September, to set up the display.

The Central Beekeepers Alliance display was refreshed this year with a new backdrop display this year, and was more colourful and eye-catching than ever. You can view a slideshow of photographs of the FREX setup activities on the Flickr photo-sharing site.

Tickets were sold on an afghan made by Mae Richards. Cookbooks and honey were available for sale, and almost all the honey that was brought in by our members was sold out by the end of the exhibition week.

We saw a noticeable increase in the depth of public interest in talking to the beekeepers at the booth — probably as a result of all the “where did all the bees go?” news stories this past year.
