Leo is right about the quality issues when it comes to
print. But if I understand this correctly, the images
will be projected on a digital projector. These types
of projectors have set range of resoulutions that they
project (unless this is some new expencive brand).
Until fairly recently, this has been only 640X480 or
800X600. You have to think of this equipment as being
very bright tv sets with a lens in front of it.

**What you see on the screen is what you will see on
the wall. Just bigger!**

Actually DPI is not really an issue unless you start
going below 100-72 DPI or the original source is from
slide or very small print. DPI and resolution is
linked if not the same, but trying to explain it with
out showing you can be a task in itself.
If you have the harddrive space, memory and wish to
scan it at a high DPI thats all the better. You can
alway print a qulity image with it for handouts. It
just depends on you needs. Just remember the projector
will only project what you see on the screen.

FW: Blue Orchard Bees Help Pollinate CherriesThe first tree in my orchard to
bloom is a pluot. In fact it is starting to bloom this week! There are not
many bugs flying around this time of year. It is usually grey and wet. The
temperature is fluctuating between upper 30's at night and lower 50's in the
day. When the weather clears up, things get frosty at night. Would orchard
mason bees help the pluot set more fruit? I feel that this tree destined to
be forever tricked into blooming too early by the El Nino winters we have in
Seattle? I don't think it is possible to delay a tree from blooming in the
field, so I need a pollinator that can get to work early in the season.

Blue Orchard Bees Help Pollinate Cherries

Cherry orchards pollinated by blue orchard bees boast impressive harvests
of this popular summer fruit. That's according to a research experiment, now
in its sixth year in a commercial cherry orchard in northern Utah.

Blue orchard bees get their name from their metallic, blue-black color.
Also known as the orchard mason bee or, to scientists, as Osmia lignaria,
the bee could augment the efforts of this country's most widely used
pollinator, the domesticated honey bee. In recent years, many colonies of
the honey bee, Apis mellifera, have been hard hit by mites, beetles and
competition from the aggressive Africanized honey bee.

Agricultural Research Service entomologist William P. Kemp of the agency's
Bee Biology and Systematics Research Laboratory, Logan, Utah, and colleague
Jordi Bosch of Utah State University, also in Logan, are conducting the
pollination study. They are comparing cherry yields from before, then after,
they brought blue orchard bees to work in the orchard.

In some years, production was twice as high when blue orchard bees were
used in place of honey bees, Bosch reported. The orchard pollinated by the
blue orchard bees produced harvestable yields even in years when bad weather
robbed most other cherry growers in the region of their harvest.

Kemp and Bosch are authors of "How to Manage the Blue Orchard Bee," a
soft-cover handbook published in 2001. This comprehensive guide is packed
with tips for commercial and hobbyist beekeepers.

The orchard study and the handbook are briefly described in a recent issue
of the ARS monthly magazine, Agricultural Research, posted on the World Wide
Web at:
