Greetings to Fellow Bee Liners,
 
        I would like to draw your attention to a special event in Devon,
England this summer.  Devon BKA holds its Conference every two years at the
Seale Hayne Food and Agriculture Faculty of the University of Plymouth and
this year we are co-operating with IBRA to produce something special.  The
Faculty is only a few miles from Buckfast Abbey and an optional visit to the
Bee Department at Buckfast has been arranged for participants.  Below is a
list of dates, speakers and topics.  If you would like further details please
