The 2003 budget closes the USDA Honeybee research labs in Beltsville, MD,
Tuscon, AZ & Baton Rouge, LA.  on October 1, 2002.  This leaves the Weslaco
lab.

This is not yet a done deal.  The House Agricultural Appropriation
committee meets on Feb. 28, and the Senate Ag. Committee meets on March 14.

I don't need to tell you guys what this means to the future of beekeeping.
We all need to email our representatives (no mail because of the anthrax
scare).

http://agriculture.house.gov/members.htm will get you to the site where you
can contact your Agriculture committee members in the House.
