SUMMARY:LIBC Meeting - April 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for our monthly gathering to connect\, learn\, and s
 hare in our passion for beekeeping. Here's what we have planned:\n\n\n\n
 Welcome &amp\; Club Business\n\n\n\n\nPresident's Welcome: A brief welco
 me and overview of the meeting's agenda.\n\n\n\nTreasurer's Report: Upda
 te on the club's finances.\n\n\n\nMembership Report: News and updates on
  our club membership.\n\n\n\nClub News: Announcements and important news
  items.\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Presentation\n\n\n\n\nImpacts of Systemic Pesti
 cide Exposure On Bees: A Case Study from Nebraska That's Affecting Us Al
 l\n\n\n\nPersistent losses of honey bee colonies across multiple Univers
 ity of Nebraska-Lincoln research apiaries in Mead\, NE and investigation
 s into bee losses uncovered a novel practice of disposing surplus outdat
 ed and pesticide-treated crop seeds through ethanol production. The impr
 oper disposal practice caused unprecedented pesticide exposure risk and 
 contamination in the surrounding air\, water\, soil\, and plants. Expose
 d colonies have had disruptions in worker behaviors and queen rearing ca
 pacity. Furthermore\, adverse impacts may linger with contaminated comb 
 and food stores. This isolated problem has provided unique opportunities
  to examine the short and long-term ecological\, environmental\, and hum
 an health impacts through a collaborative One Health systems approach wh
 ich has generated more awareness and stimulated legislative policy chang
 es across the US.\n\n\n\nDr. Judy Wu-Smart (Associate Professor &amp\; E
 xtension Specialist) received her MS at Washington State University unde
 r the advisement of Drs. Steve Sheppard and Carol Anelli and a PhD from 
 University of Minnesota with Dr. Marla Spivak. She has been the director
  of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln Bee Lab since 2015. At UNL\, she 
 and her team have been developing a robust pollinator health program for
  the Midwest region to help beekeepers\, scientists\, policy makers\, an
 d land managers understand the underlying stressors challenging bee heal
 th\, such as improper management of pests and diseases and exposure to p
 esticides. Community engagement and promoting science literacy around th
 ese complicated farm-to-table issues are also key components of our rese
 arch and extension education programs.\n\n\n\nTo find more about our pro
 grams and training opportunities visit https://entomology.unl.edu/bee-la

 &amp\; Door Prizes\n\n\n\nTake a moment to stretch your legs\, grab a re
 freshment\, and participate in our raffle. It's a great chance to mingle
  with fellow members and win some beekeeping goodies!\n\n\n\nWhat's Happ
 ening In The Hive\n\n\n\nAn engaging discussion on current beekeeping ac
 tivities\, what to expect in your hives this time of year\, and tips for
  managing your bees effectively.\n\n\n\nDoors open at 12:30 PM\, Meeting
