Dr. Dewey Caron will return to New Jersey for the first time since 2017. He will give two presentations. Other speakers will include Grant Stiles, Tim Schuler will give a fresh update on Malawi. There will be two Rutgers Extension Specialists: Kate Brown will speak on dealing with Heat Stress for the upcoming summertime, and Justine Gray will talk about bad bugs (NOT Varroa) that give us problems...namely ticks and chiggers. Jeff Burd will chat about ‘Hives for Heroes’ and Professor Amy Ricco will give an overview of the award-winning Horticulture program offered at Mercer County CC.
Stiles Apiaries will be the main vendor. There will be door prizes and good times.
