Hello All, Many have inquired when I might give another presentation. I will be doing a presentation on varroa and the current situation in the U.S. at the spring meeting of the Missouri State Beekeepers association on Friday March 11th. (starting at 4:15 PM) . The meeting is being held at "The Inn of the Grand Glaize" at the beautiful Lake of the Ozarks at Osage Beach, Missouri. For information you can contact Sharon Gibbons at [log in to unmask] Robin Mountain (South Africa) and Ann Harman (Bee Culture articles) will also be doing presentations. I have also got a two part article coming out in the April American Bee Journal about the first importation of Australian Bees into the U.S.. Part one is about getting the bees into the U.S. and part two in the May issue is about the way the bees pollinated almonds and are doing compared to our U.S. bees. I have got another article in either the April or May issue of the American Bee Journal about California almond pollination pros & cons which should be a must read for those considering doing almond pollination. I have got a couple Bee Culture articles and another American Bee Journal article in the works for summer but the bees come first. Sincerely, Bob Harrison Ps. In my opinion subscribing to the American Bee Journal & Bee Culture is an absolute necessity if you are to work through today's tough beekeeping issues. Changes are happening fast in beekeeping today so subscribing is in my opinion the best way to stay informed for the U.S. beekeeper. Joining a bee club is important also and attending is important and not a "no show" many times like me! :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: -- Visit www.honeybeeworld.com/BEE-L for rules, FAQ and other info --- ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
