[Pollinator] FW: Pollination Course 2013

[Vicki Wojcik]

Dear all

>From December 2 to 14, 2013, we are again offering THE INTERNATIONAL
POLLINATION COURSE, a two-week workshop to be presented at the Mucugê,
Chapada Diamantina. This course has been offered in Latin America since
about 1990, previously in Mexico and Costa Rica, and since 2003 in Brazil.

The main purpose of the course is to provide participants with sufficient
knowledge in pollination biology and ecology.  The course concerns both the
animal and plant sides to pollination, and introduces practical
considerations in bee management, and crop production.  The course is hard
work almost every day, with an intensive series of lectures; short field
excursions explore flowers and pollinators in the general area and field
trips to see crop pollination.  Participants will also plan (with the
instructors), execute and complete small projects. And at the end of the
course present their findings to the whole course.

As the instructional team will be international it will be required at the
participants to have basic skills on comprehension and reading English.

The application form 2009 is available. Fill it and send it to
pollinationcourse at gmail.com

Detailed information will be presented in the course website:
