Dr Larry Connor In East Texas!
We are tentatively planning to have Dr Larry Connor come to East Texas
and give a day long talk. He writes a monthly article in American Bee
Journal and Bee Culture. Also, he has worked with various universities
and bee breeding projects including the midnight/starline breeding
project in the 70s and 80s. Larry Connor is a informative speaker and
knows his stuff. His talks are straightforward and super easy to
understand. We need to have at least 30+ people sign up in order to be
able to do it. We are planning on having it on Saturday, February 5th
at Indian Rock Baptist Church, 4944 State Highway 154 E. This is east
of Gilmer TX. Cost is $35 per person. You can either bring a sack
lunch or drive about 8 minutes into Gilmer or Diana for lunch. Weather
permitting there will be live bee demonstrations afterward, so bring a
veil.
This is from Dr Connor-

Larry Connor came to Tulsa a couple of years ago and did a queen rearing seminar. If you are in driving distance and skip this, you've screwed up.

We have our bee class meeting on Monday evening, and will get whatever $ from whoever is going and send it Tues. a.m. I can let you know how many people for sure. I think Marvin McCord, our teacher, may have been in touch with Dick Counts or you about it.

Re: Dr Larry Connor In East Texas!
We have no more space. I cannot believe how many we have signed up. Good to give a warm Arklatex welcome to larry since he has never talked to this area before.
If I have already signed you up and you have not sent money please send it.
