<p class="MsoNormal"><span>DAVIS, CALIF.—Monday, July 31 is the
pre-registration deadline to attend the <a href="http://www.westernapiculturalsociety.org" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">Western
Apicultural Society's 40th annual conference</span></a>, to be held Sept. 5-8
at the University of California, Davis, where the organization was founded.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Extension
apiculturist emeritus Eric Mussen, who is serving his sixth term as president
of the Western Apicultural Society (WAS), says those registering early will
save $50. “There will still be an opportunity to register after July 31 but you
won't get the ‘early bee' special,” he said.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>The
early registration fee for the full conference is $175, while the cost after
July 31 is $225. One-day registration is also offered at $60. The conference is
open to all interested persons.<br>
<br>
WAS, a non-profit organization, represents mainly small-scale beekeepers in the
western portion of North America, from Alaska and the Yukon to California and
Arizona. Beekeepers across North America will gather to hear the latest
in science and technology pertaining to their industry and how to keep their
bees healthy.</span></p>
<p class="m_-6679999325893673054gmail-MsoNoSpacing"> Mussen, who retired from UC Davis in 2014 but
maintains an office at Briggs Hall, said most events will take place at the UC
Davis Activities and Recreation Center (ARC) and surrounding facilities
associated with the UC Davis Department of Entomology and
Nematology. Off-site tours are also planned during the afternoons.</p>
