Some more of Andy's writings are preserved at

 http://www.beesource.com/pov/andy/index.htm

When I first started surfing the web and found Andy's site I was hooked.
I checked it nearly daily.  I, like many others, saw some things a bit
differently than Andy.  I was probably less interested in his editorials
than I was his 'news' page.  Undated daily it was a phenomenal collection
of articles relevant to honeybees and beekeeping from across the country
and around the world.  Invariably he had 3 or 4 new ones daily.  I don't
know how he found them other than he must have had an immense newtork of
contributors or spent a lot of search time daily.  The only thing similar
in existance today is Allen's diary.

And of course this list and a newsgroup (or maybe two).

When Andy went off the web abruptly that spring I was lost so to speak.
After much searching it was finally here that I learned of his death.  And
here I came to for info and since a visitor to Allen's diary.

These are selfless people who take the time to keep the rest of us
informed.  There is, by and large, a lack of daily freshness of
information despite the enormous information on the web about beekeeping.
Thank you Allen and the moderator of bee-l  for these resources.
