International Symposium:
Apiculture for the 21st Century

We have completed the program for this meeting that will occur in Kellogg Center Auditorium on Friday and Saturday, June 27-28, 1997.

We have speakers coming from Germany, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Canada as well as the United States. They will be speaking to four main topics during the two-day symposium. One half-day for each topic. The subject areas are:

  1. Genetics and Breeding;
  2. Behavior;
  3. Populations of Bees; and
  4. Parasitic Mites.

The format for the meeting will follow in this general pattern. A keynote speaker (the organizer of each section) then followed by four additional speakers on the subject area. Then a general discussion from the participants and the audience. Then a break for lunch and an new subject area for the afternoon.

On Friday afternoon there will be a tour of the Horticulture Gardens. After dinner there will be a poster session for three hours for topics submitted by various apiculture scientists. This format allows the individual and the author to talk one-on-one about the paper.

There is a luncheon on Friday and a closing Banquet on Saturday evening. The cost of the full symposium is $60 with a printed proceedings. Luncheon is $13 and the Banquet is $20. Rooms are available in Kellogg Center or air-conditioned dorm rooms at $25 single, or $35 for a double. Beekeeper visitors will be welcome at a cost of $25, or $13/day for the conference. Cost of the Luncheon and Banquet are the same.
