Attached is the First Call for Papers for the 2nd International Workshop on
Hive and Bee Monitoring, September 17-20, 2014, Missoula, MT.  

The First Workshop on Hive Monitoring was held in Vermont in conjunction
with the Eastern Apicultural Society Annual Conference.  This 2nd Workshop
expands the topic from Hive Monitoring to also include the Monitoring and
Tracking of Bees themselves.  Although the primary emphasis of the Workshop
is on honey bees and other pollinators, the meeting is open to anyone
monitoring or tracking insects.

Since that First Workshop on Hive Monitoring, enabling technologies have
been constantly improving, and the prices have been declining.  Whereas most
of the research and applications at the time of the First Workshop was being
performed in Europe and the USA, we now find individuals and groups around
the world exploring this topic, with several startup firms exploring
markets.

The 2nd International Workshop, starting on Wednesday, September 17, will be
held in conjunction with the 36th Annual Meeting of the Western Apicultural
Society (WAS), September 18-21).  

I am the 2014 President of WAS.  We will also have a Trade Show associated
with WAS, September 17-21; workshops on Saturday morning (20th); and a Honey
Harvest Festival in the afternoon (20th).  There will be opportunities for
you to bring and demonstrate your technologies, in addition to presenting a
paper or poster.

Missoula is in the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Montana.  Fall in
Missoula is spectacular, with plenty of outdoor activities for the entire
family (http://www.makeitmissoula.com/things-to-do/).

Plan on attending and participating.  Send your proposed topics for a paper
or poster to me at jerry.bromenshenk at mso.umt.edu or beeresearch at aol.com.
