Tues, Oct 8<\/strong> The speakers will detail the scope of the berry industry as well as the problem tackled with the research, as well as the consequences of lack of fruit set on the entire industry. A possible solution to aid the bee power in the fields will be discussed and the ramifications explained. Lastly the merit of this research approach and the rather significant positive results are presented.<\/p>\n Presented by Tom Baumann and Eric Gerbrandt<\/p>\n About Tom Baumann:<\/strong> Also present will be PhD candidate and associate director of Pacific Berry Resource Centre, Eric Gerbrandt, who works in the same field and has done a great deal of this research.

\n\u201cMy question always was: How to combine work with fun? Early on, realizing that biology and geography (my two favourite subjects) combined to applied biology, also known as agriculture and after long years at university and a master\u2019s degree in plant science, I put my knowledge and love for the environment to work, running research projects for the BC berry and vegetable growers. I soon started teaching agriculture courses at UBC and later took on full-time permanent at the University of the Fraser Valley, where I have taught for the past 23 years! I also run my own nursery, as well as a four-person consulting business for the horticulture industry. I specialize in berry production and at UFV have created the Pacific Berry Resource Centre late in 2011. I love sharing my knowledge and look forward to do so with you.\u201d<\/p>\n
