Maybe we ought to go back to the original description of the purpose of BEE-L
 
I have this as it appears on Adam's FAQ  "BEE-L is for the discusison of
research and information concerning the biology of bees.  This includes
honey bees and other bees (and maybe even wasps).  We communicate about
sociobiology, behavior, ecology, adaptation/evolution, genetics,
taxonomy, physiology, pollination, and flower nectar and pollen
production of bees"
 
I haven't seen much of that lately, which is why several of my
counterparts are quietly signing-off, and why I am contemplating doing
the same.
 
Thanks
