Subject: Update3rd Annual Oracle, Arizona Chemical free Organic Beekeepers
Conference 5-7 March 2010
This is to let you know that the Oracle, Arizona conference now coming up
will focus on a whole range of topics that clean organic beekeepers like to
talk
about, from breeding, to TBHs, to Warre hives to langs for field management
with
Scott McPherson and Sam Comfort; and also being talked about will be
Apitherapy with Matt getting stung, and Don Downs from the USA Apitherapy
society being
here with me, along with James Fearnley of Bee Vital over in England, at
www.BeeVitalPropolis.com, for showing stinging points and how apitherapy
helps human
heath by stimulating the immune system, etc. Also, here will be Dean and
Ramona
talking about breeding, field management, and beneficial microbes relative
to food bees produce in a hive and why it is so important for not killing
beneficial microbes that means life or death in a colony food wise for
living.
Then Saturday night and perhaps interjecting other times in course of
weekend, will be Arthur Harvey and Stan Hildebrand from the International
Organic
Inspectors Assoc that will be here, that I am sure will present interesting
information we can exchange for learning/doing also as in past two years
with Arthur Harvey here, for how our governments see things and we see/want
things also for doing that can get very heated at times, but well worth the
hearing.........
Price is $150 for two nights and 6 meals, free vendor space in main
conference hall,(So far setting up are CC Pollen with Bruce Brown, and James
Fearnley of Bee Vital from England), conference attendance, facility on site
insurance, etc, no assoc
dues...........by the way for those asking/wanting private rooms not
girl/boy scout style,..... the Triangle Y Ranch YMCA also does have a lodge
that is
similar to most hotels in town with private bath, etc, but it is not in
this package......but for those that want more private facilities might call
to
see if private lodge rooms available so wouldnot have to drive pack and
forth, for gas gets expensive.....just a thought! and number for calling the
ranch on this would be 520-884-0987 but be prepared for normal high hotel
rates for private rooms, etc . But still for two nights like camping, with 6
meals and access to full conference, etc $150 is cheap for the three days
there
arriving and signing in from 12PM Friday on to leaving 2PM signing out with
talks into afternoon..........as while packing out, talks will be going on
too!
Following all this, those that can, then spend another 2-3-5 days at my
place going to the field seeing bees in the remote hills (4x4 vehicles
needed
as these folks normaly drive here or rent a 4x4 vehicle for the adventure)
for then learning how to pick a location, and go into basics in conversation
of working up and working down colonies, what they look like for work, and
doing walk away splits/dividies, etc......... some even have managed to work
in seeing how foundation is made/processed with equipment depending upon
needs at time.
But conversation throughout is 24/7 and nonstop..........and a real boost
to enthusiasm for doing beekeeping from those that have attended the
meetings
now going into third year now here in Oracle, ARizona.
For registration Please send self addressed envelop with fees on a per
person rate of $150 each. Sent back to you will be information with site map
of
buildings, basic guildelines to follow for stay on conduct, plus medical
statement to fill out in case of emergency.
