Hello All

The Irish Beekeeping List is up and running since early December 1999 and
now has 127 members.

Our main preoccupation in Ireland at this time is with varroa, since it has
now become fairly widespread in our country - and I fear that many
beekeepers unfortunately, are going to get bad news when they examine their
hives towards the end of this month or early next month. And unfortunately
we have as yet little experience with the pest.

I would like as many beekeepers as possible to join our list, so that we in
Ireland can tap into the vast amount of varroa experience out there, and
which I know beekeepers all over the world would like to share with us here
in Ireland.

And we thank all of our beekeeping colleagues all over the world who have
joined our list and who have given us valued help with varroa.

I show below the procedures for joining the list, and thank you kindly for
any assistance you can give us.


Sincerely

Tom Barrett
