Hambleton memorial award was estab- lished by the Eastern Apicultural Society of North America to recognize research excellence in apiculture. The EAS Student Apiculture award was established to recognize students studying apiculture at the undergraduate or gradu- ate level in a recognized college or university in the United States or Canada. Each award nomination must include a biographical sketch of the nominee, a list of his/her publi- cations, specific identification of the research work on which the nomination is based and an evaluation and appraisal of the accomplishment of the nominee, especially of work in the last five-year period for Hambleton award nominees (or a shorter period for Student nominees). Two letters of rec- ommendation supporting the nomination are also required. The Roger A. Morse Outstanding Teaching/Exten- sion Service/Regulatory Award is given annually to rec- ognize an individual in teaching/extension and/or regula- tory activity in the field of apiculture. Nominations for this award are welcome from any person in the field of apicul- ture or may be self-nominating. Nominations shall consist of a letter documenting the achievement of excellence in any or all of the areas of teaching/extension and /or regu- latory activities in apiculture. Some indication of the ap- pointment responsibilities should be included. In addition, a suitable CV or resume documenting the activities of the nominee must be submitted. Nominations are now being accepted for all three awards. The awards for 2009 will be presented at the an- nual conference of the Society at Holiday Valley, August 5, 2009. Nominations and letters of recommendation should be sent to: Jim Bobb, 2011 Shearer Road, Lansdale, PA 19446 and received no later than April 6, 2009. Resubmissions from a previous year should be updated if necessary, and a new cover letter should be attached which should indicate that this is a resubmission and relevant data is already in EAS possession. Welcome to the 2009 Eastern Apicultural Society Short Course and Conference. The theme of this year’s meeting is TOWARD NON-CHEMICAL BEEKEEPING, a challenge, and a goal for every beekeeper. We have a bunch of extra activities planned to go along with the lectures, workshops and meetings, so please check out the entire schedule to see what we’ve got planned. Dr. Nick Calderone from New York’s Cornell Univer- sity in Ithaca has set up the Level Two Short Course with a wide variety of tasks for anybody who wants the next level of experience. Level Two covers a wide variety of sub- jects, most requiring some background in honey bee biol- ogy and beekeeping experience. If you’ve matured to this point, you can see that this is the course for you...and there’s always the fundamentals in Level One you can re- visit if you want. Both levels include a half day tour of Commercial bee- keeper Andy Card’s New York headquarters (he keeps 20,000 plus colonies in Mass and MS, too) and extraction and storage facility. It’s not often we get to tour a really big operation and see how they work, and get to listen to how the big guys make it work. Level two has a great cast of instructors . . . just take a look (page 4) . . . and you won’t get a chance to listen and learn from a better group this year. Everybody gets the best there is in the EAS Short Course this year . . . no matter if you’re just starting out, or have been at it quite awhile. Don’t miss our Short Course this time. On Tuesday evening there will be a Microscopy Work- shop sponsored by the Microscope Store. We are bringing in a collection of dissecting microscopes and will spend an evening with Larry Connor and Leslie Huston studying honey bee anatomy, plus other things only a microscope can find. There is an additional charge of $35 to take this exceptional workshop but it will be extraordinary. The class size will be limited to 15. If we have enough interest we will hold additional workshops Wednesday and Thursday early morning. Our EAS Master Beekeeper Barry Thompson has worked long and hard this year with a challenge from the Presi- dent to put together a top notch Level One Short Course program. And he’s done an A+ job… He sends along the following… Ok, so you’ve gotten through the first six months, or three months (depending where you are.) You installed the package successfully, or you have nurtured the nuc through your first season. Now what? Hone your developing skills as a beekeeper and ex- pand your understanding of beekeeping. Take advantage of the information and practical tips provided by EAS Master Beekeepers in the Level One Beekeeping Short Course, Monday-Wednesday, August 3-5, Ellicottville, NY. Among the topics to be covered are honey harvesting, late sum- mer management, fall treatments, winter preparations, spring build-up and readying one’s bees for the honey flow next spring and summer.

Potherings from our Chairman…My term as president of the PA

State Beekeepers Association (PSBA)has come to a close and I now betterunderstand and appreciate the needfor term limits. I was president for fouryears and vice president for two yearsbefore that. It is time for a change inPennsylvania and a time for me to fo-cus my efforts in new directions.

Many have asked what I plan todo now in my “retirement.” Scott, afellow beekeeper, and I have decidedto fix up my shed and turn half into awood shop and the other into an ex-traction house. We hope to offer theextraction room for new beekeepers toextract honey. We are also planningto raise queens, something that I hadstarted to do before PSBA took up somuch of my time.

So, what does this story have todo with EAS? I can find all of the in-formation that I need to expand andexplore new areas of beekeeping eitherat an EAS convention or from fellowEAS members.

Last year, Jennifer Berry gave de-tailed workshops on grafting and rais-ing queens. This year we will visit BobBrachmann’s Russian queen breedingoperation. Many EAS members alsoraise queens and are very approach-able. Feel free to contact some of ourEAS Master Beekeepers for advice ongetting started raising queens whileyou are at the convention.

Have you thought about fabricat-ing your own woodenware? I plan tostart offering some custom-madewoodenware myself. Dave Peregmonwill be happy to discuss his experi-ences, types of wood to use, box joints,and the cost effectiveness.

Beekeepers small and large arealways looking for efficiencies to savetime and muscles. EAS will visit thecommercial operation of Andy Card.Look for ideas that you can use. Whilevisiting a large commercial operation,I discovered a simple setup for label-ing jars that I can recreate at homefor a cost of less than $5 which willapply each label quickly and uniformly.Ask me in August if I am able to makemine work.

Although pests and diseases areserious problems for the bee indus-try, my time in April and May is spentmanaging hives to prevent swarmingand maximize honey production. TomSeeley, who has been studying bee be-havior for years at Cornell, will be atEAS as will our 2008 student award win-ner, Juliana Rangel-Posada, a student

of Dr. Seeley’s. Juliana will share herresearch on swarm behavior.

Finally, if you have questions onbuilding a honey house or setting upan extraction area, Kim Flottum, EASPresident, has written a book entitledThe Honey Handbook in which he ex-plores different equipment used to ex-tract and process honey from a smalloperation that fits in a spare bathroomto a stand-alone honey house. For abeer or a nickel, Kim will share histhoughts on processing honey.

Someone asked me what is EAS?EAS is much more than a convention.Come for the speakers, but learn fromfellow beekeepers. Many of us havebecome close friends. EAS is like afamily. If you are shy or would like tobe introduced to a speaker or otherattendee, let me know and I will in-troduce you. (Warning: Some of thosepast introductions are now married.)

And now a few words about our EASfinances. The economy of the world hastanked and affected many of ourfriends, family, and perhaps some ofus individually. Factories in PA thatsupply doors, windows, furniture, andmobile homes closed leaving severalof my siblings out of work. EAS hasmade an effort to keep costs to a mini-mum this year and still provide a qual-ity convention. Many of my friends willbe camping at EAS again this year soconsider that as a way to reduce costs.We have made a decision to invitespeakers that are more local to keepour costs and fees low. Perhaps theeconomy will turn around in the nextfew months but it is prudent for us tobe frugal and insure the long termhealth of our organization. However,as you can tell by the roster of speak-ers on the program, we will still havea robust convention in Ellicottville.

As for our Honey Bee ResearchFund and other dedicated funds, themoney is safe. Either by luck or thewisdom of our treasurer, John Tulloch,the EAS Finance Committee has in-vested our funds in CDs. The value ofour funds has not decreased with themarket downturn. Many of us now wishwe had the foresight to do this withour personal funds. Other charitableinstitutions that invested their fundsin the markets have seen their invest-ments drop considerably. Your EASfunds are safe.

As always, the leadership of EASis here to serve you. Please contactus with any questions or commentsthat can make EAS better.

Divelbiss AwardDivelbiss AwardEach year EAS gives the Divelbiss

Award to that person, or husband-wifeteam, who has – over a period of years– reached the non-beekeeping publicto teach about the values of honey beesin our lives.

Each year you are asked to nomi-nate someone, not necessarily fromyour own state, who would be a candi-date for this award. You may wish toannounce this award at your local andstate organization meetings and intheir newsletters. You may wish toinform officers of state and local orga-nizations and request their input.

The nomination is really very easy.Write a letter outlining what the can-didate has done in reaching the non-beekeeping public over a period oftime. Such groups as 4-H, Scouts,school groups, media interviews, com-munity organizations, Lions, GardenClubs, county and state fairs, etc., allqualify as non-beekeeping public.

The letter may also include theteaching of beekeeper’s Short Coursesand other instructional work towardeducating beekeepers and prospectivebeekeepers. The nominee does notneed to be a member of EAS (but we’dbe delighted if he/she would join).

Send letter to: Loretta Surprenant,27 County Home Way, Essex, NY12936. email: [email protected]

Since the award needs to be en-graved, the deadline for the nomina-tion is April 15th.

If you have any questions, pleasegive me a call or send me an e-mail.
