Just a reminder: The joint meeting in Niagara Falls is only a bit over a week away now: December 4th for most of us, although the professional groups and execs will be in conference before that. The Canadian Honey Council site is the best source of detailed info. See http://www.honeycouncil.ca/meetings.html#meet and http://www.honeycouncil.ca/meetings.html#agenda for the agenda. The hotel rates are cheap -- and it's a good hotel, too! The location is inspirational. Here are some thumbnails from my visit last fall: http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210b_005_small1.jpg http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210_009_small.jpg http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210b_001_small.jpg http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210_017_small.jpg Here are the corresponding larger images, and yes, those are bees. http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210b_005.jpg http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210_009.jpg http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210b_001.jpg http://www.internode.net/honeybee/diary/images/010210_017.jpg I'll see you there. allen
