Hello All

The Irish Beekeeping discussion list was started in December 1999. Its
primary purpose is to disseminate information on varroa which is a subject
near to the hearts of most beekeepers.

In Ireland we are becoming very aware of varroa, since we have only recently
been stricken by the pest.

Now we discover that in faraway New Zealand that the pest has appeared there.

I would invite as many beekeepers as possible to join the Irish Beekeeping
List as we are in need of as much input as possible from beekeepers with
experience of varroa.

Many New Zealand beekeepers have now joined the Irish Beekeeping List to get
the benefit of our discussions on varroa, and I trust that this posting will
result in many varroa experienced fellow beekeepers joining us.

I show below the procedures relating to the Irish Beekeeping discussion List.

And thank you kindly for your attention.
