Dan:  The Eastern Apicultural Society, EAS, was started in 1957 at The
University of Maryland; and is an amalgamation of the beekeepers of 18 Eastern
States and 5 Canadian provinces.  It meets just once a year in July or August
in a different state or province for each meeting; and this year it will be
held at 7 Springs, PA from July 13 - 18.  This is NOT a fun or recreational
program, but rather five morning into the night days of meetings,
demonstrations, workshops, and lectures all designed on the idea of "HOW TO BE
A BETTER BEEKEEPER".  The lecturers, presenters, and workshop leaders (all
except me) are nationally known or even internationally known apicultural
experts.  If you do not learn something here, you better have your head
examined; because the foremost authorities in the world are present.
Generally, between 400-600 beekeepers from EVERYWHERE attend, like Alaska,
Hawaii, Nevada, Mexico, Europe, etc.,etc.
     If you come, please say "Hello, George" to me as a run the Queen workshop
on Thursday and Friday.
