Speaker notes for 60+ Years of Beekeeping. Notes from a presentation in Southeast Alabama. During the past 60 years, somethings have changed while some things are nearly the same. This is a short look at the differences.

Some Comments on the Honey Bee’s Place in the Green Movement (pdf file)
I have posted a pdf file of my presentation, Honey Bees and the Green Movement for the 2012 Auburn University Spring Beekeeping Workshop
Backlighting a confined queen in a mature queen cell
I have posted a short video clip of a back lit mature queen cell at: Candling a Mature Queen Cell. The procedure is occasionally used to be sure a queen is alive and well before the cell is introduced into the colony. In earlier days, a candle was used as the light source. The queen is not harmed by this procedure.
It’s nearly time. February 4, 2012 – the Auburn University Spring Workshop
Even though I have done the Auburn University Spring Beekeeping Workshop for many years, it is still an exciting event for me. A significant amount of planning and work by many people – most of whom never get any credit – will be on display on February 4, 2012. I always look forward to seeing so many passionate beekeepers on one intense day. What is it about beekeeping anyway?
See you there,
