This notice is a little self-serving, but I wanted to inform BEE-L people of two publications produced by the North Carolina Beekeepers Association. The first is the annual beekeeping calendar. It focuses on management hints for N.C. beekeepers, but has application to much of the Eastern U.S. and, hopefully, interest to a broader audience. It sells for $5 to nonmembers of the NC Beekeepers Assn., but if you mention BEE-L in your order, I'll have them knock off $1. (I'm on good terms with the author.) The second publication is an "Atlas of Selected Pollen Important to Honey Bees in the Eastern United States". This is comprised of 64 electron micrographs of 37 different pollens collected by honey bees. The photos can be useful in determining honey type or which flowers bees have been visiting. This book is available for $10 post-paid. All proceeds go the Association's Science fund, and the authors get nothing. calendar $4.00 pollen book $10.00 N.C.
