The Lehigh Valley Beekeepers Association, in conjunction with Bucks and
Montgomery County Beekeeping Associations, will be sponsoring a beekeeping
seminar on Saturday March 25, 2000 in the Allentown, PA area.  It will be an
all day event beginning at 8:30 AM and concluding 4:30 PM.  The location for
the seminar is the Lehigh Carbon Community College, in Schnecksville, PA (5
mi. north of Allentown).

Speakers:

Lloyd Spear - Lloyd, a frequent contributor to Bee-L and owner of Ross
Rounds, will speak on comb honey production, and colony management to ensure
a successful crop.

Jim Hansel - Jim is the grandson of the founder of the Bradshaw Honey
Company, marketed under the name Three Bears Honey.  They were one of the
largest bee operations in Western United States during the first half of the
20th Century.  Jim will discuss what it was like to run a large
"family-owned" operation.  It is a great history of early commercial
beekeeping with many anecdotal stories.

Dr. Dewey Caron: Most know of Dewey's reputation as an educator and of his
research with honeybees.  He will be speaking on his latest research IMP and
varroa control.

Dr. Bob Z. Horr: Bob regularly writes articles for American Bee Journal.  He
will speak on general management using some specialized, easily constructed
tools, and techniques.

The cost for this event is $5.00 preregistration or $7.00 at the door!
