EAS 1993 CONFERENCE UNIV. OF MAINE, ORONO AUGUST 2-6, 1993
The Maine State Beekeepers Association cordially invite you to plan this
year's vacation for the first week of August and come to Maine for the 1993
EAS Conference. The Maine Beekeeping Associations, Department of Agriculture
and University have organized a Conference that offers an excellent array of
speakers, workshop instructors and short course faculty. Your hosts promise to
both educate and entertain you.
You can make the 1993 Conference even better by bringing along your
entries for the Competitive Show. The members of EAS are known for their
quality products. You can share your beekeeping, baking and crafting skills
with fellow beekeepers by entering this year's Competitive Show. You just may
win a ribbon or award!
The show rules and categories appeared in the April EAS Journal. If you
would like a copy of the show rules write either Loretta Surprenant, Secretary
or Tony Jadczak, President and you will get a prompt reply.
The 1993 Conference will begin Monday, August 2 at 8:00am with the EAS
Short Course in Beekeeping coordinated by Dr. Larry Connor. The Short Course
will conclude Wednesday, August 4 at noon. The Short Course faculty is
comprised of individuals from USDA labs, State and Provincial Universities and
Departments of Agriculture. Subject matter will include: disease and mite
biology and control, queen rearing and instrumental insemination, stock
selection, new information on races and species of honey bees, plus more.
Short Course enrollment is limited to 85 individuals with admittance based
upon the date of receipt of your registration.
The main Conference will commence Wednesday, August 4 at 1:30 with
registration starting at 8:00am. Your hosts have assembled a program with
noted speakers from the U.S., Canada and U.K. The Conference program and
workshop sessions offer subject matter that will be of interest to all.
WEDNESDAY EVENING - A "Reception" is planned that will give Conference
attendees the opportunity to visit with each other and relax from the journey
to Maine. This casual gathering will provide individuals with the energy
needed for the hectic days ahead.
THURSDAY - "Spouses Tour and Luncheon" with visits to the famous
LL Bean's Ellsworth store and the beautiful village of Bar Harbor. Individuals
will have the opportunity to shop and enjoy the sights of this coastal
community.
THURSDAY EVENING - "Maine Style Lobster and Clambake" - Another casual
get together with a taste of Maine. Your hosts have arranged for entertainment
by Judy Michaels a songwriter who co-hosts one of the most popular morning
radio shows in Maine. Judy has won raves from Maine to Nashville.

Company. Space is limited for this tour so be sure to send in your
