If you tag @Freebee2, she will be able to tell you. You just have to type the @ sign and her name, like I did in the previous sentence, and she gets a special “ping” to look at your message.

Hi @Helene1
I wish we could be there! With a bit more notice I would bend over backwards to make it happen!
Unfortunately it is unlikely we could attend given it is only a few weeks away.
Is it on the same dates every year? Perhaps we can get there next year (I would love love love to go to Italy again!)
We do have a contact in Italy - a beekeeping club in Genoa who we have had some association with - I will try to find out if they are attending, if so I will let you know.
I hope you enjoy the event

@Helene1… Sto lentamente imparando un po 'di italiano usando un compact disc con il metodo Michel Thomas in macchina … Conosco solo poche centinaia di parole ma mi è servito abbastanza bene per una visita in Italia. Amo molto il tuo paese!

@ Helene1 … I’m slowly learning some Italian using a compact disc with the Michel Thomas method in the car … I only know a few hundred words but it served me well enough for a visit to Italy. I love your country very much!

Hi @Freebee2 I did contact the club in Genova for some info… because unfortunately here in Italy we have lots of problems buying a nuc because they only use D Blatt hives and they don’t fit our FH / Langstroth. No one uses Langstroth here… so I did phone Genova to ask if they new anyone that may sell the Longstroth frames nuc… The reply was negative… They gave me a tel N° of a important beekeeper to contact in Piacenza…( where the expo will be ) . and I called him up and he will give me a group of bees/ w queen that I will transfer info my FH ( he will do me a favor as normally they only sell 100 group at the time )…hoping the weather is getting better… and maybe Spring is coming next month…
Freebee2 I will ask … but I think the expo is about the same period every year !
@Freebee2… Brava Freebee… capisco benissimo… continua così… impara bene così quando ci vediamo l’anno prossimo mi farai sentire quanto sei brava !!
Sicuramente meglio del mio inglese…
strange that you don’t have anyone that is promoting your FH in Italy !
This one is the biggest International / Europea beekeeper Expo…
Well if you come over next year at the Expo I will be happy to meet you and may also… come and give you a hand with the Italian…
