SUMMARY:WAS MINI-CONFERENCE
DESCRIPTION:History of Beekeeping in the U.S. and Sociology of Sustainable 
 Beekeeping\n\n7:00-9:00 p.m. (Mountain Standard Time)\nSpeakers:\nTammy Ho
 rn Potter\, Ph.D.\nKentucky State Apiarist and Author\n\nThe History of Be
 ekeeping in the United States – How Bees Shaped a Nation\n\nSince the 17
 th-18th centuries\, the U.S. has been shaped by honey bee-related analogie
 s that continue to influence public policy even as science and technology 
 have advanced the apicultural industries in the 21st century.\n\nIn 2005\,
  Tammy published "Bees in America: How the Honeybee Shaped a Nation\," fol
 lowed by "BeeEconomy" in 2011 and "Flower Power: Establishing Pollinator H
 abitat" in 2019. She has a new book\, "Work I Knew I Must: Reminiscence of
  Forty-One Years of Factory Life\," just published by Root Publishing\, 20
 21.\n\nTammy's grandparents on both sides were beekeepers.  Her Ph.D. and
  early career involved teaching English and Literature at college and univ
 ersity levels.  In 1997 she spent a summer helping her grandfather with h
 is beehives.  She later applied her beekeeping knowledge to research (200
 8)\, using bees for surface reclamation of coal mine areas. In 2014\, she 
 was appointed Kentucky State Apiarist\, where she continues to work with b
 ees and the nation's beekeepers.\n\nEleanor Snow Andrews\, Ph.D.\nCornell 
 University\n\nThe Sociology of Sustainable Beekeeping\n\nEllie will descri
 be competing visions of "sustainable beekeeping\," analyzing how beekeeper
 s today and in the past have clashed over how best to manage disease and p
 ests in their hives.\n\nEleanor (Ellie) Andrews has been keeping bees sinc
 e 2010. What began as a lark morphed into a dissertation project about the
  ways the beekeepers' choices are increasingly constrained\, challenges to
  conventional scientific authority and expertise\, and the ways that beeke
 eping sits at the intersection of conservation and agriculture. She has pu
 blished several articles in scholarly journals as well as Bee Culture ("To
  save the bees or not to save the bees: Honey bee health in the Anthropoce
 ne" and "Information literacy for beekeepers") and helped develop Cornell'
 s new online Master Beekeeping curriculum with the Dyce Lab for Honeybee S
 tudies. When she is not talking about bees or looking after her own\, she 
 is teaching writing and environmental sociology and working as a freelance
  editor.\n\nMore information and registration
