SUMMARY:Southern New England Beekeeper’s Assembly 2018
DESCRIPTION:Registration $55\n\nLate Registration $75\n\nwww.sneba.com\n\n&
 nbsp\;\n\nSpeakers:\n\nDr. Jay Evans\n\nJay Evans is Research Leader at th
 e United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Bee Research Lab in Belts
 ville\, MD\, where he has worked for nearly 20 years. The BRL is focused o
 n the development of management strategies to help honey bees thrive in th
 e face of disease\, chemical stress\, and adequate forage. Lab members are
  developing and testing new nutritional and anti-disease products\, and ar
 e especially interested in how bees respond to multiple stress factors and
  the efforts beekeepers might use to help them through these challenges. J
 ay's own research uses genetic techniques and controlled challenge experim
 ents (often bees in cups) to reduce the impacts of parasites and pathogens
 . Current projects involve honey bee immunity\, interactions among stress 
 factors\, and the development of novel\, safe\, controls for mites and vir
 uses. Jay received his AB in Biology from Princeton University in 1988 and
  his PhD in Biology from the University of Utah in 1995.\n\nDr. Rebecca Ma
 sterman\n\nUMN Bee Squad Associate Program Director\n\nRebecca Masterman f
 irst worked for the UMN Bee Lab as an undergraduate in 1992\, and returned
  in 2012 as the Bee Squad’s Associate Program Director and Coordinator. 
 Becky graduated from UMN Twin Cities with a BA (major in history\, minor i
 n biology) and then obtained a Ph.D. in Entomology studying the neuroethol
 ogy of honey bee hygienic behavior under the direction of Dr. Marla Spivak
 .\n\nDr. Lawrence Connor\n\nWell known author\, editor and speaker Larry C
 onnor operates Wicwas Press\, the largest North American press focused on 
 quality beekeeping books. He conducted pollination studies at Michigan Sta
 te University\, served as Extension Entomologist at The Ohio State Univers
 ity\, and was president of Genetic Systems Inc.\, a venture that mass-prod
 uced instrumentally inseminated queen bees. He is the author or coauthor o
 f eleven books\, including Queen Rearing Essentials\, Bee-Sentials: A Fiel
 d Guide\, Increase Essentials and Honey Bee Biology and Beekeeping with Dr
 . Dewey Caron.
