-If you are interested in bees, there is a new group in the Three Rivers Area that can help you learn about them. Burghs Bees gave a presentation. Their Apiary is located on Susquehanna St. just off Dallas in the Point Breeze/Homewood area. We were shown a very interesting vodcast of Dennis vanEngelsdorp's presentation concerning the vital importance of bees, Colony Collapse Disorder, and more. Mr. vanEngelsdorp is the Acting State Apiarist for Pennsylvania's Department of Agriculture.
-Another good presentation was given by Goutham Rao, MD, Clinical Director or the Weight Management and Wellness Center, Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. They work to help children and adolescents change their behaviors in order to prevent obesity and live healthier lives. Here is their website that provides a lot of useful information for these issues: Healthy Behaviors 4 Life
-Lastly, Kaayla Daniel, Phd, CCN spoke on the "Myths and Truths About Vegetarian Diets". This was a very interesting presentation. She presented too much scientific information for me to condense here. So I suggest interested individuals look for her book: The Whole Soy Story: The Dark Side of Americas favorite Health Food. Currently, there is only one copy in the library system, but I am sure more will be purchased. After you read the book, you may wish to look at what others have to say about it. For example, here is a review from eatkind.net
