I've seen some adverts for this conference in the beekeeping press, but as there seems to have been no mention of it here then some may have missed it; that would be a shame as it's slap bang in the middle of the country and has an impressive list of speakers. There are only two weeks left for booking tickets, mind!
IBRA have organised a one day conference in Worcester on Saturday 29th January, entitled Varroa - still a problem in the 21st century? Here's some of the information given on the IBRA site:
"Varroa is, however, not a new problem. It was first identified as a serious pest more than half a century ago, and chemical and other control methods have been available for decades. Why therefore is it still a problem? This major conference will bring together international authorities, who will outline our current knowledge about the biology of the mite and its interaction with other diseases, discuss the problems of chemical resistance, and suggest control methods, whether chemical, biological, biotechnical or by bee breeding, and suggest practical solutions for the practical beekeeper to enable us to live with the mite in the 21st century."
You can read full details and book tickets here.
Tickets are £20 for IBRA members, or £25 for non-members.
