Time	Topic & Speaker
7:15 to 8:00	Continental Breakfast
8:00 to 8:30	Registration
8:30 to 9:00	Welcome David Elkner, President of the New Jersey Beekeepers Association Joan Tak, President of the Morris-Somerset County BeekeepersAssociation
9:00 to 10:00	RECORDED PRESENTATION: Dr. Frank Rinkevich Frank has been working on the issue of amitraz resistance in varroa for several years and has some excellent insights and interesting results that all beekeepers in NJ should hear. Specifically, beekeepers need to hear his message that Apivar continues to be an effective treatment when rotated with other treatments. We have some beekeepers in NJ not using Apivar because they "heard" it was not effective and the mites are resistant. Apivar has been and continues to be a very effective treatment when rotated with Formic Pro and Oxalic Acid (dribble or vapor). Amber Leach, Veto-pharma Sales Manager will also help with the Q&A.
10:00 to 10:15	Dan Winters is from New York and is currently the President of the American Beekeeping Federation. Dan would talk about the ABF and the benefits of being a member.
10:15 to 10:25	Tim and Bob Kloss will give us a brief update on Malawi.

12:00 to 1:00	Lunch / Dining room
