Spring into Beekeeping with SABA’s 2003 Seminar The Southern Adirondack Beekeepers Association is working hard to bring another great seminar to the Northeast. On March 22, 2003, an all-day presentation of top-notch speakers will take place on the State University of New York (SUNY) Albany campus. This year, we are pleased to present an excellent group of the bee world greats. Our confirmed speakers are: Dr. Thomas Seeley Professor of Neurobiology and Behavior and Dr. Nicholas Calderone, Associate Professor of Entomology both of Cornell University; Kirk Webster, northern Vermont commercial beekeeper and queen breeder; and Jim Tew, Associate Professor of Entomology at Ohio State University, well known author of several books and innumerable Bee Culture articles.
