<P class=MsoNormal>Laurie,</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I wanted to introduce you to Ms. Queen Turner the
Apicultural officer for the Ministry of Agriculture in Botswana who is in the
US on a Humphrey Fellowship. She is currently visiting my lab and will
be back at U C Davis (her base for the Fellowship) later next week.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>She would like to learn about the great things PP is doing
and look for networking opportunities. I told her you run the best
networking group for pollinators worldwide.</P>
<P class=MsoNormal> </P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Cheers,</P>
