My apologies for not mentioning: We have no plans, as of now, to publish
electronically, so must have your postal address. Graphics are necessary to
the publication, and I don't think this is possible on the net. (I'm new on
the computor end, so clue me in, if there are possibilities here) Meanwhile
we'll stick with the old, (usually) reliable snail, and use the net for
resources.
Our primary aim is to reach growers who need pollination --to be a practical
educational tool, as well as pollination beekeepeers and support people.
Beekeepers who are not involved in pollination, and do not intend to in the
future, probably will not be interested.
Briefly: Plan 4 issues for '95, subscription $12 for those four. (Anyone who
objects to advertising should know, I don't see any profit potential, and
expect to subsidize it for quite a while -- this is a service to
agriculture.)
 
If you are involved in crop pollination in eastern USA or Canada, I'd
appreciate you feeding me info on what's going on in your area. Start off
with an overview: what crops, how many hives, local or migratory, unusual
crops, personal experiences, etc.

My soapbox: I sympathize with those who are trying to stop Chinese honey
dumping, and I hope they win, but I'm afraid it's just spitting into the
wind. What country will be the next villain? If we spent 10% of the energy
that is going into this action, to improve our pollination systems and
prevent pesticide misuse, we'd wind up a lot healthier industry.
