    Allen,
 
    I am familiar with your 'under the hood' term and the principal pollen
    producer in this part of the world.  Irrespectively of the topics of
    chalkbrood (you covered it well) and the illegal shipment of bees from the
    continental United States into Canada, you refered to the planned program of
    the upcoming 4th Annual Canadian Apicultural Research Symposium at the
    Mayfield Inn in Edmonton, Alberta on January 15, 1995.
 
    For anyone interested, I have attached the program.  For further information
    concerning the annual meeting of CAPA (Can. Assoc. of Professional
    Apiculturists) that is preceeding the Research Symposium, or the annual
    meeting of Canadian Honey Council following the Symposium, you may contact
    me by e-mail.
 
    regards,
 
    Paul van Westendorp                         [log in to unmask]
