In Issue 53

Dear friends

This edition brings to the end another busy year for Bees for Development. We hope you have enjoyed reading the journal and look forward to hearing from you in the next century.

You can read the final insight by John Free on Pollination in the Tropics on page four. We offer you brief resume of the last of this Millennium Apimondia Congresses on page three.

At last, Dr Eva Crane’s new book is available: details in Bookshelf.

There is news of forthcoming events including the Fifth AAA Conference in Thailand in March, and the Second Caribbean Beekeeping Congress in Nevis in August.

Keep reading Beekeeping & Development: we give you fresh views of beekeeping endeavours all around the world.
