		nextMtgNotes = ""; //"Cornell's Dr. Thomas Seeley, author of the celebrated book The Wisdom of the Hive, will give two talks on September 11, 2010 at the Maryland State Beekeepers Association Meeting being held at the Universities at Shady Grove in Montgomery County. Dr. Seeley's work focuses on how a colony of bees is organized to perform complex group decision making to gather and protect resources, and perform key activities that sustain the life of the hive from division of labor to swarming.<p>His September topics will be 'House hunting by honey bees: a study of effective group decision making' and 'Getting freebies: the design and use of effective bait hives.'  You can read more about Dr. Seeley at <a href='http://www.nbb.cornell.edu/seeley.shtml'>http://www.nbb.cornell.edu/seeley.shtml</a><p>MSBA is also honored to welcome Meme Thomas, BDirector of Baltimore Honey (B'More Honey, <a href='http://www.baltimorehoney.org'>www.baltimorehoney.org</a>) whose successful model of community supported apiaries (CSAs) will be expanding into additional Maryland communities over the next year or so. Members purchase shares in micro-local, organically managed hives throughout the city, and their support funds additional hive placements and educational opportunities.  She will be presenting the projects activities and taking your questions.<p>As many of us know all too well, suburban beekeeping in Maryland is under threat of new restrictions and new interpretations of existing law. The beekeepers of Virginia's Prince William County recently won a significant zoning victory, a new law which opened the door to hives in the full range of neighborhoods in this highly diverse jurisdiction. Karla Eisen and other leaders of this effort will speak to us about the challenge they faced and how they organized and worked together to meet it.<p>We will wrap up the day with a panel discussion of overwintering nucs, including the rationale, challenges, and best practices beekeepers in our area have discovered.<p>The meeting will take place at the Camille Kendall Academic Center at the Universities at Shady Grove, just off I-270 in Rockville.  We will be meeting in Room III-3241 of the center, with registration at 8 AM and closing by 4 PM, and a break for lunch (which will not be served on premises). For directions, please visit <a href='https://shadygrove.umd.edu/about/visit/directions'>https://shadygrove.umd.edu/about/visit/directions</a>"; //"The meeting will run from 9:00am to 4:00pm. Cindy Bee will be our main guest speaker: she is a swarm capture expert with a forthcoming book on the subject, as well as an urban beekeeper.  More speaker details are almost available!"; //"The Maryland State Beekeepers Association meeting will be held on Saturday, June 20, at the Plant Sciences Building at the University of Maryland at College Park. <br>There is plenty of free parking. <br>The UMD Entomology Department will be our hosts.  Registration begins at 8:30 am and the program begins at 9:30.  <br>This represents a welcome reunion with the University of Maryland, and is evidence of increasingly closer cooperation and communication between MSBA and the University.<br>The day will end with a practical session with the UMD beehives for beginners, so bring your veils.  <p>Our main speakers will be <b>David Fletcher</b> and <b>Galen Dively</b>.<br>Among the other speakers:  <ul><li>Dr. Charles Mitter, Entomology Department Chairman, will introduce members of the recently formed 'Honey Bee Working Group'.  </li><li>Lee Hellman, Prof. Emeritus of the Entomology Department will speak on beekeeper education at UMD.  </li><li>Wayne Esaias will describe interesting new findings of his NASA project.  </li><li>Steve McDaniel will report on the Mid Atlantic Apiculture Research and Extension Consortium (MAAREC) and tell us the Secret of Successful Beekeeping.</li></ul>We will have an outdoor session in the afternoon at the UMD Apiary for beginners about what to look for inside your hive.  <br>The venue has plenty of space for vendors, and tables will be available.  <br>We will have a silent auction, so please bring something to donate.    <br>Those who want sandwiches for lunch can order them in the morning.
