Inspection & Certification of packages and nucs is done primarily to detect American Foul Brood, not to assess mite levels. Unless the supplier has just treated the bees, assume they have varroa mites.<br>
Since nucs already have capped brood, they should be assessed for the % of mites.</span></div>

<br>
Registration opens April 23, 2018<br>
<br>
* <strong>Dr.Bromenshenk</strong> received his Ph.D. in insect ethology (behavior) from Montana State University. He co-founded Bee Alert Technology in 2003 and is the statewide director of Montana's EPSCoR program (Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research). His research focuses on insect behavior, ecotoxicology, population dynamics, and environmental chemistry. He recently served as president of WAS - Western Apiculture Society. Dr. Bromenshenk has 40 years experience working with honeybees.<br>
<br>
<strong>* Melanie Kempers</strong> grew up on a dairy farm in Prince Edward County and it was her love of animals and the outdoors that led her to the University of Guelph in 2002 to obtain a Bachelor's degree in Agricultural Science. In 2006, with very little knowledge about beekeeping, Melanie was hired by the OBA Tech-Transfer Program as a summer intern. Even after many stings, she stayed on to work full time with the team and has been expanding her understanding of bees ever since. </span>

Are a few generations enough? With open mating, is local adaptation even possible? Won't numerous packages from many different locations pollute the gene pool? Is locally adapted stock the mythical holy grail of beekeeping?</span><br>

TF Beeks crow when they have success, but are quiet when the sky falls in. Hoe does one define success? Can repeatedly stocked colonies qualify as success? Perhaps the definition of success means different things to different people. Is there a moral obligation to protect neighborhood colonies from neighboring beekeepers? It might be said that as long as one is still in the game there is a modicum of success in the mere presense.</span><br>

Thin in spring, thick in fall is the rule of thumb taught to all. But is it that simple? Thin to stimulate brood rearing, thick to put on winter weight. Some assert if you're feeding sugar, water is just added noise; it's added moisture that bees have to remove. So why add extra water at all? Stimulate brood rearing? Stimulate wax glands? Perhaps there are different answers for different times and different goals.<br>
<br>
And on the lighter side, revisiting the controversy of, <u><strong>do bees move eggs?</strong></u> Some say yes, some say no. Many find eggs where no queen would put them or more puzzling, in places where no queen could go. Eggs in queen cells above a queen excluder! Curiouser and curiouser. -A. Morris</span><br>
