send her an email bd, find out if she is going to be in your area.  if you ever get to st paul, minnesota, call her office (university of minnesota) for an appointment, send her an email, ask,  seems to me she is open to anyone who wants to visit with her or see her lab.

I just send $25 to the Utah Dept of Agriculture each year and they send me an official-looking certificate saying I'm a beekeeper. I guess I'm all trained up! :D Seriously though, this is a good thread for those like me with much still to learn. Thanks for starting it LazyB. I'm watchng.

LOL Litefoot!   Not so lucky here, no fancy certificate.     :'(


    While reading some of David Tarpys research, I did come across this, still looking into it.

A friend of mine has recently completed the British BKA module 3 (Pests and Diseases) course and exam. She has given me a list, from memory, of the questions.

If a member would like to see the list, please send me a PM with your e-mail address.
