NEKBA and the Midwestern Beekeepers Association would like to thank Ross Conrad (author of Natural Beekeeping: Organic Approaches to Modern Apiculture) for his educational presentation on Colony Collapse Disorder & the Organic Solution on November 22nd at the Ernie Miller Nature Center.
22nd at the Ernie Miller Nature Center.
Ross learned his craft from the late Charles Mraz, world renowned beekeeper and promoter of apitherapy. Additionally, Ross is a former president of the Vermont Beekeeper's Association, and a regular contributor to Bee Culture - The Magazine of American Beekeeping.
Ross has given bee related presentations and led organic beekeeping workshops and classes throughout North America for many years. His beekeeping business, Dancing Bee Gardens, supplies friends, neighbors, and local stores with honey and candles, among other bee related products, and provides bees for Vermont apple pollination in spring.
Thanks Ross!
