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] Provincial Apiarist British Columbia --Boundary (ID keOJdKDqkIbLusJhNo09mw) MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: MESSAGE/RFC822 Date: Wed, 19 Oct 1994 11:22:00 PDT From: "Paul van Westendorp"@mr.gov.bc.ca Subject: Research Symp. 95 Agenda MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Posting-date: Fri, 16 Dec 1994 00:00:00 PDT A1-type: DOCUMENT The 4th Annual CANADIAN APICULTURAL RESEARCH SYPOSIUM (1995 FSAM II SYMPOSIUM) JANUARY 15, 1995 Mayfield Hotel, Edmonton, Alberta (Tentative Program) 08:20-08:50 Registration 08:50-09:00 M.
