Good to hear, we try to adhere to the 'informed beekeeping' concept.   
We're getting requests to deliver content over the web, especially to other bee  
clubs.  We're going to experiment with all of this. 
 
Our College of Continuing Education has been renamed the College  of 
Extended and Life Long Learning and also has a new Dean, and he's  providing 
support for on-line content, delivery.  Also a change of  direction from the Dean 
who retired.  
 
The previous Dean's vision was to provide academic courses tied to the  
University's Departmental offerings.  The new Dean sees a much broader set  of o
utreach and educational opportunities, and a bee course series, possibly  
leading to establishment of a Commercial Beekeeping Course is in line with  
this.  One of his other objectives is to take researchers out of the  
University classrooms and get them into the community.
 
For everyone's information, we're going to pick up 204 packages of bees  
from Western Bee early this Friday morning, bring them to Missoula, where we  
will hive 72 packages, and deliver the rest to local beekeepers.  This  
saves lots of people the drive from MIssoula to Polson and back.  We always  
have an open invitation to any newbies, or more experienced beekeepers to stay  
and learn some pointers for hiving packages.  We've been doing this every  
spring for several years now - we get a crowd.
 
We just bought a helmet camera - will be seeing if we can use it to better  
illustrate the process.  Jerry
