August Mite Workshop at Better Bee
A workshop sponsored by the Southern Adirondack Beekeepers
Association, intended to help beekeepers deal with parasitic
mites, will be hosted on August 10, rain or shine, at the
Better Bee and Meadery in Greenwich, New York from 10 am to
3 pm. Scheduled speakers include Dr. Nick Calderone from
Cornell University and Kirk Webster from Middlebury Vermont.
The workshop will be followed by a panel discussion and open
questions from the audience.
Dr. Nick Calderone is Dr. Roger Morse's replacement at
Cornell University. He has been researching plant extracts
as a means to combat varroa mites.
Kirk Webster is a commercial beekeeper in Middlebury,
Vermont who is having success breeding 'northern' bees which
are better able to withstand the harsh northern climate than
southern bred bees (See January '96 ABJ).
The mite workshop will be open to the general public and all
beekeepers are encouraged to attend. There will be a $5 fee
for SABA members, $10 for nonmembers to help cover the cost
of the speakers. Spouses and families are welcome at no ex-
tra cost. Please bring a picnic lunch.
If interested, send E-Mail to [log in to unmask] for
more details.
Sincerely,
Aaron Morris
