I got to hear Jessica Lawrence speak the other night. She is a well educated scientist doing research at a company called Eurofins in Mebane NC. The link below is to her blog and her general perception on the occurrences at the North American Beekeeping Conference and Tradeshow in Galveston, Texas January 4-8, 2011. Its one opinion but an interesting point of view.
