Bee people-
 
First I'd like to apologize to the global community for the local nature
of this post.
 
 
               Free Lecture to all who are interested
sponsored by the Worcester Co. Beekeepers Association
 
 
 
                             Special April Meeting
 
                              with Dr. Shimanuki
 
Dr. Shimanuki is director of the U.S. Governments Beltsville Bee Labs. He
is involved in bee research and in a number of experiments with honeybees
presently ongoing in Beltsville. He is one of the world's most fascinating
and knowledgeable beekeeping experts. He is coming back to Worcester by
popular request of our members.
 
Dr. Shimanuki will present a two part program on Saturday, April 18, 1998.
In his first presentation, entitled, "The All-American Bee" he will talk
about the traits that scientists and beekeepers should be looking for in
the different species in the development of an all-American bee and the
maintenance of such a stock.
The talk will include a review of "Tailor made bees," a discussion of
industry acceptance, and the progress being made in the development of
mite resistant bees. He will also explain how scientists go about
accomplishing such work through numerous experiments.
 
The second presentation will be on "Antibiotic and Miticide Tolerance." He
will discuss the problems arising with present substances that are being
used for disease and mite control and the next generation of materials
that are being developed at Beltsville and other labs.
 
This is a FREE presentation you don't want to miss if you plan on keeping
bees into the next century! Mark your calendars NOW for April 18th.
