REVIEW by Jerry Hayes

Ohio State hosted a fairly cool occasion titled Meals Animal Drugs Pupil Symposium (FAMSS), https://websites.google.com/web site/osufamss/ on the campus in Columbus. This can be a nationwide alternative for veterinary college students to come back to OSU and have a possibility to listen to from audio system and take part in labs on cows, horses, pigs, small animals and now honey bees.

Christian Frazier, OSU Honey Bee Veterinary Membership President did a fabulous job of organizing this honey bee centered alternative.

Honey bees have been included now within the Pupil Symposium and Dr. Reed Johnson from OSU, Barb Bloetscher and myself had the nice honor to introduce vet college students who needed to study honey bees in a bigger context to this very important a part of animal agriculture. Reed launched honey bees and administration fundamentals, I spoke about Varroa destructor mites and Barb did a moist lab on figuring out American Foulbrood and Nosema apis and ceranae.

The neat factor was we had vet college students who chosen this class from Nebraska, Michigan, Mississippi, Ohio and Calgary, Canada. All that to say, they had been amazed at what honey bee pest, parasites and ailments had been precisely on a honey bee and the way they affect honey bees as managed pollinators and honey producers together with potential administration by beekeepers.

All of them after all had been launched to Bee Tradition Journal and given a previous problem.
