I can supply CD Rom (for Windows users on PC) from
beekeeping symposium held last autumn in Croatia. CD
has auto start program and no need to install anything
on your PC. Has over 9 hours of audio (.mp3) and over
200 photographs and slides which allow the user to
fill as he is present at symposium where lectures were
about treatments (alternative) for varroa and
selection. Lecturers were Ralph Buchler, Stefan Berg
and Job v. Praagh from Germany, Antonio Nanetti from
Italy (on English) and Janez Poklukar and Maja Drazic
from Slovenia and Croatia.
Also on CD are over 60 photographs from biggest
beekeeping exhibition on the Balkans held in Belgrade
(Yugoslavia)
CD program (mask) is on Macedonian language but for
few minutes everyone can catch up intuitively (back
and forth). CD is made as documentation effort for
Center for apicultural documentation which we are
building here in Macedonia for present and future
beekeepers.
I estimated the value of one copy around 8 - 10 euros,
but you can sand (on my address below) a book or any
small beekeeping tool (or ABF convention tapes) with
at least that value and in return I will sand you one
copy of my journal with CD inside (without any fancy
packing - of course).
Main purpose for this my offer is to disseminate
valuable beekeeping information's and in same time to
enrich our beekeeping information center with various
carriers of information's. Also I can exchange this
and some other photo-collection CD-s as extra
motivation for exchanging subscriptions between my
journal and any other journal in the World.
Sorry because I used Bob's words to divert his point
to my point.
