For our 'mini session' this month Justin Shiffler of Hat Trick Honey,  a former safety manager with 2 degenerative discs himself, would like to share some beekeeping back safety tips to help you avoid injury keeping bees.

Dr. Scott McArt will be giving the main presentation for the evening:  

 “Pesticides, Pathogens, and Pollinator Declines: What We Know & What YOU Can Do”

Scott McArt, an assistant professor of pollinator health, helps run the Dyce Lab for Honey Bee Studies at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. He is particularly interested in scientific research that can inform management decisions by beekeepers, growers, regulatory agencies, and the public. Research in the McArt lab focuses on the impact of pesticides, pathogens, habitat, and management practices on the health of honey bees and wild pollinators. 

Members will be sent a zoom link a few days in advance. We look forward to you joining us!
