Hello All

Gormanston is just around the corner. It bids fair to be an excellent
course as always.

For the last two years, in response to many requests from beekeepers, we
have had a session on alternative varroa treatments. This is held in a
local hostelry, The Federation Of Irish Beekeeping Associations will not
authorise an official lecture on the Alternative Treatments (with
resistance to Bayvarol/Apistan just about at the gates.).

I am suggesting that the format be changed somewhat this year, and rather
than just have yours truly only, I am inviting other beekeepers with
experience of alternative treatments to make their experience available to
us. Something in the region of maybe 20 minutes or so per speaker depending
on the number of speakers etc.

An Overhead projector and a video will be available.

For those who may not have been to Gormanston,  the Huntsman, which is the
venue for the lecture, is a delightful Pub where the knowledge can be
imbibed with the local tipple!!

Please tell me your thoughts on the above, and perhaps anybody interested
may wish to contact me directly to work out details.
