    Circumstances change.  Six months ago I received an invitation to
participate at the Third European Congress on Social Insects in St.
Petersburg, Russia two months from now.  That invitation included the
following:

Plenary Speaker:  "Odor and honey bee exploitation of food crops"

Symposium Speaker:  "The exciting potential of remote feral bee
colonies for Varroa coexistence"  (In the symposium,  "Can European
Honeybees Coexist with Varroa Mites?")

Symposium Organizer:  "Honeybees and Flowers"

    Malcolm Sanford will also be there (as organizer of a workshop or
round table discussion):  "Honey Bees and Social Insects on the Web:
Global Communication, Regional Networks, High School and University
Education
