Message: <blockquote data-quote="Maggie" data-source="post: 5069" data-attributes="member: 71">Hi John - I attempted zoom for the symposium.  I wanted to hear Andrew Cridge.  So got set up prior to that talk.  I got the slides on my screen but the presenter prior, was only a mumble sound.  I could only just hear Andrew, despite slides on my screen.  I did a test on my PC to see if the zoom speaker thingy was working.  So unfortunately, I zoomed out.  Of course, this may be my fault, but I think if my beekeeper brain couldn't manage this, I suspect others may be in the same boat.Did have a look at some of the posters, and I think you would get more visits to these if they were in the foyer.  Of course not every conference is going to have such a big foyer, so that may not be possible.I think ChCh will be well attended, by a good mix of beekeepers.  Also, ChCh holds the biggest per centage of hobbyist hives in one area in of the Sth Is - maybe this has to be considered for the Sat programme. Interesting comment in Shelley Hoover's climate change talk.  It may not be resistance to varroa miticide treatments occurring, it may be increased temps aiding continued laying and foraging.  Up until the last fortnight, Canterbury has had a mild winter, and we had a lovely balmy autumn. The conference vibe was good.  Must admit I spent more time catching up with people, than attending talks (I am getting into the category of after years of attending meetings, conferences etc - I am meetinged out!)  Good to see the large amount of entries in the honey comp.  I think the warm weather helped.  I have gone to conferences in Rotorua before and had to wear layers of winter clothing! But it was great to get some warmth on the bones and some wonderful vit D the first couple of days; particularly after all the rain and damp chill the fortnight prior in Canty. Yesterday v heavy rain in Rotovagus, but warm, and today warm!</blockquote>
