Hello Connecticut Entomological Society members, I am pleased to announce our upcoming meeting is a combination meeting and bee workshop!

This month's meeting will take place on March 21st at UConn. Dinner will be at Willington Pizza as usual at 6pm, and the meeting will start at 7:30.

NOTE we will be in a different building - Torrey Life Sciences 301 (the workshop will be in 313 down the hall).

The workshop will be led by Tracy Zarrillo, with a focus on Bombus. Feel free to bring your own specimens, or challenge yourself to identify the Bombus species on display.

More details, including the talk abstract and a map of the meeting location, are on the website: http://ctentsoc.org/march-2014-meeting/

And don't forget, we still have calendars for sale!

Thanks, looking forward to seeing you on the 21st! Brigette Zacharczenko, President Connecticut Entomological Society
