BEES AND BEEKEEPING SHORT COURSE
at the University of Illinois
August 23-24, Urbana, IL
 
The University of Illinois is offering a new short
course in bees and beekeeping for the summer of
1997. After surveying other successful beekeeping
courses across the country, we have tailored ours to
cover beekeeping management techniques, both basic
and advanced, as well as other areas of increasing
importance for the future such as production of
specialty honeys and pollination. This will also be the
first short course in the nation to offer participation as
"scientists" in real experiments performed on honey
bees.
 
FEE:
$55.00 per person, which includes course
material and workshops, refreshment breaks, and
entrance to the international honey tasting, after-dinner
speaker and mixer.
