 eping bees for over 30 years using natural and organic methods of honey be
 e management. His presentation will explore ways beekeepers can work with 
 nature and the honey bee's natural instincts to maintain healthy\, vibrant
  hives rather than try to force nature to conform with antibiotics\, toxic
  synthetic pesticides\, genetically engineered bees\, honey bee vaccines\,
  or artificial diets composed primarily of sugar syrup and protein patties
 . Ross will cover proven natural methods for controlling varroa mites\, fo
 ulbrood\, nosema\, CCD\, wax moths\, small hive beetles\, honey bee viruse
 s\, raising nucleus colonies\, and the critical components of successfully
  overwintering hives in northern climates.\nRoss Conrad of Middlebury\, Ve
 rmont learned his craft from the late Charles Mraz\, world renowned beekee
 per and promoter of apitherapy along with his son Bill.  Conrad is a for
 mer president of the Vermont Beekeeper's Association\, a regular contribut
 or to Bee Culture magazine\, author of Natural Beekeeping: Organic Approa
 ches To Modern Apiculture Expanded and Revised 2nd Edition\, and co-author
  of The Land of Milk and Honey: A History of Beekeeping in Vermont.  Ross
  has given bee-related presentations and led organic beekeeping workshops 
 and classes throughout North America for over two decades. His beekeeping 
 business\, Dancing Bee Gardens\, supplies friends and neighbors with honey
  and candles among other bee related products\, has 5-frame nucleus bee co
 lonies available each June\, and provides bees for Vermont pollination in
