Elina Nino:New U.C. Davis Extension Apiarisi

摘要

The quest started years ago, when Eric Mussen began to contemplate retiring from his job as the only fulltime extension apiarist west of the Rocky Mountains. But it was not a job search; it was a struggle to keep the job itself. The breadth and importance of Mussen's work was widely appreciated; the danger of his position disappearing was just as widely dreaded. Everywhere in the country extension programs were being gutted, if not snuffed. The decision makers at U.C. Davis were faced with making heavy budget cuts, and extension was on the chopping block.
