Dr. Connor speaks to dozens of beekeeper groups each year, covering a wide range of subjects, from bee behavior and bee sex; from management to pollination. Most presentations are on PowerPoint, and require a projector, computer and screen; these are high quality digital images including extensive macrophotography.

If you are program chair or an officer of a bee club, garden group, grower organization, consider using Dr. Connor as a speaker

Speaker fees outside Michigan start at $400 per day plus expenses (lodging, mileage, airfare, tolls, parking meals and motel charges). Events are often scheduled a year in advance, but do not hesitate to check at the last minute for a open date. Right now the slowest months are September and December.

Fees may be reduced by scheduling a series of meeting on adjoining days in the same general location.
