Subject: Save the Date! Beekeeping webinar June 15th

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder that our next beekeeping webinar is Monday, June 15th starting at 7:00 pm EST (logon details to follow in the next month). Please disseminate and share this invitation to everyone and anyone who might be interested!

The format for this webinar is going to be quite different from those in the past, since it will be more of an online mini-symposium rather than a single lecture. We are extremely fortunate to have multiple presentations from leading experts Patrick Jones (NCDA) and Wayne Buhler (NCSU Horticulture). The topic for the session is The re-labeling of Pesticides: what beekeepers really need to know. At issue is the ongoing changes that the EPA is making to pesticide labels and the registration process. There is a lot of speculation and outright rumor spreading among the beekeeping community about this issue, thus it is critical that every beekeeper understand the current state of affairs when it comes to this important regulatory issue.

Many thanks to the Johnson County Beekeepers for hosting. A full list of our beekeeping webinars can be found on our website at:

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!

I look forward to this next webinar, but in the meantime let me know if you have any questions and happy new year! Sincerely, David
