UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) Dairy industry profession
als interested in expanding and
updating their knowledge of nutri

take part in a one-day workshop

The workshops will be offered
at five locations during the week
of Nov. 10-14.
What’s All The Buzz About
UNIVERSITY PARK (Centre
Co.) People are swarming to
the hobby and business of bee
keeping. But to avoid getting
stung by a lack of knowledge, be
ginners need reliable sources of
information and sound scientific
advice on management practices.
The Pennsylvania State Bee
keepers Association will provide
novice and experienced beekeep
ers alike with an opportunity to
learn more about their avocation
at the association’s annual meet
ing, Nov. 14-15 at the Country
Cupboard Inn in Lewisburg.
“There has been a recent surge
in interest in beekeeping,” said
Jennifer Finley, association presi
dent and entomology research
technician in Penn State’s College
of Agricultural Sciences.
“Many people have noticed that
there are fewer honey bees in their
gardens and yards, and they’ve de
cided to keep their own colonies to
help pollinate their flowers and
vegetables,” Finley said. “Others
are interested in die sideline busi
ness of selling honey or beeswax

Penn State Hosts Dairy Feed Workshops
Coordinated by Jud Heinrichs,
professor of dairy and animal sci
ence, and Virginia Ishler, program
assistant in dairy and animal sci

by a Penn State Cooperative Ex
tension agent at each site. The
seminar schedule:
• November 10. Indiana County
extension agent Gene Schurman
hosts the session at the Garden
Gate Restaurant in Butler from 9
products. But with challenges
posed by parasitic mites, diseases
and market competition from im
ports, beekeeping isn’t as simple
as it used to be.”
To help prospective beekeepers
get started, the association will
offer a seminar for beginners on
the afternoon of Nov. 14. Work
shops will address the biology of
bees, management through the
seasons, mite and disease manage
ment, and honey production.
During the workshops on Nov.
IS, experienced beekeepers will
receive valuable information on
the biology and control of tracheal
mites, how health problems plagu
ing queens can affect the entire
colony, preparing honey for show,
creative production and marketing
of bee-related products, and
photographing honeybees.
“The sessions on mites and dis
eases are especially important for
beekeepers, because inspectors
this year have found high numbers
of mites in the state’s apiaries,”
said Maryann Frazier, Penn State
extension bee specialist. “If bee-
