Dear Sir or Madam:

Please post the following:

"Tracheal and Varroa mites are notorious killers of bees in New England.
American Foulbrood disease is on the increase as dead hives are being
robbed. Beekeepers must take timely steps to control these pests to SAVE
THE BEES! Charles Andros, former NH/VT Apiary Inspector, will hold a
beekeeping workshop from 1-3 PM on Saturday, July 20, at the Paul Harlow
Farm on Route 5 in North Westminster, VT, 1/2 mile north of the I-91 Exit 5
ramp. Look for the "BEE" sign on the west side. The topics of discussion
will be taking off and extracting honey, wax processing, treatment of mites
and foulbrood, and making propolis tincture. Bring a veil, if you have one,
as we shall be opening some colonies. To register by email: [log in to unmask] or call

Thank you,
