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 have 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.  Topics will be finalized soon.

A block of discounted rooms will be reserved at the Marriott Fairfield Inn,
just across the street on Washington Ave.  When people call to reserve
rooms, they should call by Feb. 22 and mention the “beekeeping seminar” to
get the discount.

The cost for the seminar will be $25 per person or $15 for spouses.  This
includes a morning coffee/snack break.  Attendees will be able to use the 4
cafeterias on campus, or drive a short distance for a variety of small
restaurants.  If registering after March 8, a $10 late charge will be added
to each person’s fee.  A raffle or silent auction of items donated by
dealers will take place as well.

Spring into Beekeeping!


Thank you for your interest,
