Hi everyone,

 

This is just a final reminder about the upcoming beekeeping webinar TONIGHT at 7:00 pm EDT (see logon details below). Many of you have already expressed your interest in attending the webinar, so please use this information from the Collaborate system to log on and join. So far, we several clubs who will be joining, but let me know if you or your chapter would like to take part. Also, don't hesitate to forward this email to anyone who might be interested, as groups or individuals are more than welcome to join!

 

The topic for the session is What beekeepers should know about viruses and their effects on colony health. There has been a lot of discussion and press coverage on this subject, but most beekeepers know very little about what viruses are important and what (if anything) we can do about it. I will provide a quick overview of genetics, review most of the economically important viruses, and then conclude with a discussion of IBDS and what it might mean for colony health. Many thanks to Kathryn Holmes (extension agent in Rockingham County) and to Lenzie Kinyon and the entire Rockingham County Beekeepers for hosting. As always, a full list of our beekeeping webinars can be found on our website at http://entomology.ncsu.edu/apiculture/webinars.html.

 

Below are the logon instructions that I've sent to you previously, but I'm doing so one last time just in case you misplaced them (or in case it's more convenient).

 

If this is the first time you will be using Collaborate, you may be prompted to download some software which may take anywhere from 2 to 20 minutes depending upon your Internet connection speed. You can pre-configure your system with the required software by going to the support page located at: http://support.blackboardcollaborate.com/

Please make sure your computer has a microphone and speakers (or preferably earbuds if you are an individual attendee) to be able to talk and hear while you are in the Collaborate session.

 

Once installed, or if you're a returning user, you should be able to simply click on the link (up to 30 minutes prior to the starting time), log on (as a 'Guest' user), and the system will download a (non-permanent) Java cookie to your computer and automatically start. If you have any initial problems, here are a couple of tips that have helped others successfully log on in the past:

 

1. If you have your browser security settings set at high, it might block any automatic downloads to your computer. You might wish to lower these settings just until the system is up and running, it will not harm your computer.

2. Be sure to log on as a 'Guest', not a system user (unless you already have an account with Colllaborate, e.g. county field faculty).

 

As for user etiquette, please keep your microphone icon OFF unless you wish to ask a question. This will keep any audio feedback to a minimum for everyone. If you do wish to ask a question, please raise your virtual hand using the RAISE HAND icon on the top left of the window. You can also type your question in the 'Chat' window, which I will be able to see (but not might be able to get to, depending on how many questions come in at once!).

 

I'm looking forward to another successful webinar on apiculture. We'll see you tonight!

 

Sincerely, David
