IBRA NEWS LETTER

MAY/JUNE 1999

=#=#=  APICULTURAL ABSTRACTS IS ALIVE AND WELL  =#=#=

In the dark days of the northern hemisphere December
rumours circulated that this much admired journal had
come to the end of the road. Even worse the lie was
compounded with tale that the library
was to close!

Although fervently denied by senior staff there seemed
to be many people out there that were prepared to believe
the worst. Well they were wrong.

The first AA of 1999 has been produced in a style and
form that is almost as it ever was. What is more number
2 is well under way.

The library too is running as normal, providing loans
to members, and doing searches and document delivery
as usual. However, there is one thing that we can't do
without your help: please send us your research papers
and publications so that we can abstract them in
Apicultural Abstracts. Some people seem to have
taken ill-founded rumour for truth - so now that we
have put the record straight please send us your
material as usual.

/\/\   JOURNAL OF APICULTURAL RESEARCH /\/\

There is no denying that IBRA has undergone a terrific
upheaval and that there have been some problems and delays.
JAR has suffered a little but 1998 saw four editions.
Indeed the last for the year AND the first for 1999, due
out soon, have been bumper editions both in
terms of quality and quantity.

~*~*~   BEE WORLD    ~*~*~

1999 is a big year for IBRA as on the 24 January we
celebrated half a century of service to apiculture.
The year is even bigger for Bee World which reaches
octogenarian status It will  be 80 in June.

The first Bee World of 1999 has been published and
number 2 is due out very soon. Remember that it is
only available to members and subscribers so don't
miss out. Make sure that you have done your
paperwork and have paid up!
