Our speaker will be Dr. Ramesh Sagili on the topic of "How do Honey Bees Select Larvae for Rearing Queens During Emergency: Insights from Research". If you've ever considered rearing or grafting queens, this will help you understand how bees do it — and what we can learn from that.
Dr. Sagili is a Professor of Apiculture in the Department of Horticulture at Oregon State University.
Our speaker will be Michael Bush, talking about Francis (François) Huber. Huber was the 1814 author of the seminal book Huber’s New Observations on Bees, which laid the groundwork for all the practical knowledge we have of bees today. His discoveries were so revolutionary that beekeeping can be divided in two eras: pre-Huber and post-Huber.
Michael Bush is the author of the books The Practical Beekeeper, The Practical Queen Breeder, and more. He shares his extensive knowledge on his website The Practical Beekeeper.
Our speakers will be Fernando Fleites-Ayil and Quinn McFrederick of the University of California, Riverside Department of Entomology.
