HOWDY EVERYONE, AT THE LAST MEETING A FEW SUGGESTED THAT WE HAVE VISUAL CHARTS AND POSTERS TO HELP EXPLAIN MORE EASLY.  IT IS A GOOD IDEA AND I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIND JUST THAT.

WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS THAT THEY ARE HARD TO COME BY.  WHAT I DID FIND IS A VOLUME OF AIDS BUT NO WAY TO ENLARGE THEM FOR POSTER BOARD. IF ANYONE CAN GIVE ME SOME ADVICE " HOW TO " LET ME KNOW. MOST OF THE INFO IS FREE TO THE PUBLIC AND CAN BE DOWN LOADED OR COPIED.

I FOUND 2 WEB PAGES THAT IMPRESSED ME. ONE IS LIKE A FLASH CARD LESSON WITH SIMPLIFIDE INFO; THE OTHER IS A VOLUME OF ALL OF THE ABOVE AND MORE LINKS THAN I COULD CHECK OUT. JUST SO YOU ALL KNOW THIS BREAKS A RECORD FOR ME ON LINE... I WAS OVERWHELMED... CHECK OUT THE SITES AND SEE IF ANYONE CAN PLEASE HELP FIND A WAY TO CREATE POSTER BOARDS OF THE HONEY BEE. 

 

POSTER BOARD ? > GOOGLE           GeoChemBio.com/biology/organisms/honeybee/              

 

http://www.geochembio.com/biology/organisms/apismellifera           www.geochembio.com 

 

 

FLASH CARD LEARNNG SIMPLIFIDE> GOOGLE        Simplified anatomy of honey bee 

You should see:         Apis mellifera, honeybee - model eusocial insect

 

Would appreciate input as how to use the available anatomy pictures I would hope to make from the volume in selections available, into larger photos on poster board. I did not find a place to buy so I guess this might bee the next best thing. If there is not a way to do so than at least you have the web sites for now. We plan to go to Staples and ask for a poster created and they also take from on line so this may bee an option.

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME FELLOW BEEKEEPERS. SINCERELY, TARA

Tara,

We have some honeybee posters that our son was given one Christmas. There are 3 or 4 of them but I am not sure of the titles because our teacher daughter currently has them.

A quick online search came up with this one for sale by Betterbee.

Life Cycle of the Honeybee Poster $12.95

http://www.betterbee.com/Products/Educational-Tools/Life-Cycle-of-the-Honeybee-Poster

I bought poster frames at a craft store like Michael's to display them and carry them to schools for bee talks.

These are more expensive than homemade posters but they are professionally made and would save a lot of time.

Tara,

 

On page 40 of the new Dadant catalog, they have Honey Bee Study Prints. These 12 beautiful 13" X 18" color enlargements depicting various honey bee behavioral characteristics and beekeeping scenes are excellent for the classroom, bee meetings, etc.......Item M00020 for $26.95

 

Page 67 of the Brushy Mountain catalog:

 

They have the study prints item #876 for $34.95 that sound like they are the same thing as above

 

Brushy Mountain also has a Teaching Hive and teaching frames with photographs in frames that make it look like a "live" demonstration. Item #291 Teaching hive for $87 #291F Frames only for $74 and # 291SS Slideshow for $9.95.

 

They have the Lifecycle Poster item #878 for $13.75 and the Beekeeper's Year Chart poster #879 for $13.75.

 

I didn't check all of the catalogs that we got at the February bee seminar, but you get the idea that items are available from the larger bee supply companies.

 

I hope this helps you and anyone else who is interested in these types of visuals.

Hi, 
 
Deb Chilcott here ( a very newbee).  Saw a story online @ removing a large bee tree in PA,  couldn't get it to forward thru email.  The story is on MSN's main page under editors picks.  Could you forward it to the appropriate people?  It mentions CCD and it will help to make people aware and maybe interested in bees and saving them.  Thanks.

The Dadant posters are wonderful and full color! the national honey queen uses them in her talks with groups to show details of bees. It's a great set to have for display

These are the words that stuck out when I read the article . . .

"troublesome"

"nuisance"

"disrupted"

"buzzed"

"safety"

"allergic"

"annoyed"

. . . seems that the writer of this article wanted to portray honeybees in a very negative way.

:(

Then we have our work cut out for us, heh? The important thing is that people save the bees and know what a threat CCD is.

I agree with Troy.  The descriptions are yellow jacket behavior.  Add  "garbage and recycling bins" 

 At a time when we are trying to lay groundwork to make urban beekeeping more acceptable, this doesn't help.

Why so negative? Why can't we focus on the fact that these people went to the effort to save the bees?  A cut-out like this is not a simple task.  These people went the extra mile, the bees were saved, and, according to the final quote, people were happy about saving them.  Perhaps not the best solution, but not the worst.

I actually feel worse about the fact that, if their problem was indeed yellow jackets and not these honeybees, they killed a beautiful mature tree.

I simply find it interesting that this beekeeper and group went the extra mile to include media.   Members of this group and myself have done the same thing a hundred times in our area.  It's not a story because the bees were largely un-noticed, except to people within 50 feet of them.   My 'take-away' is without 'framing' the story right, and education,  the reporter is likely to add his own excitement to make a story.

I agree with Charlie that media hyped it up a bit, but also, my own thought after reading the story in the Meadville Tribune, was that yellow jackets lived in the very same vicinity ( as is common everywhere probably) and the people thought the yellow jackets were honeybees.  How many times have we encountered the same thing with our own friends and family ! 

We need some public service editorials in the papers to educate people to the difference between bees and yellow jackets.
