Spring into Beekeeping with SABA’s 2003 Seminar

The Southern Adirondack Beekeepers Association is working hard to bring
another great seminar to the Northeast. On March 22, 2003, an all-day
presentation of top-notch speakers will take place on the State University
of New York (SUNY) Albany campus.

This year, we are pleased to present an excellent group of the bee world
greats. Our confirmed speakers are: Dr. Thomas Seeley Professor of
Neurobiology and Behavior and Dr. Nicholas Calderone, Associate Professor
of Entomology both of Cornell University; Kirk Webster, northern Vermont
commercial beekeeper and queen breeder; and Jim Tew, Associate Professor of
Entomology at Ohio State University, well known author of several books and
innumerable Bee Culture articles. Topics will be finalized soon.

A block of discounted rooms will be reserved at the Marriott Fairfield Inn,
just across the street. When people call to reserve rooms, they should call
by Feb. 22 and mention the "beekeeping seminar" to get the discount. The
rooms are available for March 21 and/or March 22.
