Unfortunately as this response shows there is a sad lack of committment to follow through. There are approximately 600 members of BEE-L and only 6.5% responded, a pathetically low number. We can probably make the excuse that those not in North America didn't think you expected them to reply, but is is still a very low number. Roy Nettlebeck is pleading for us to work together, and yet we haven't got the time to fill out a questionaire, when we are sitting at the computer anyway!!!!! **************************************************** * David Eyre 9 Progress Drive, Unit 2, * * The Beeworks, Orillia, Ontario, L3V 6H1. * * [log in to unmask] 705-326-7171 * * http://www.muskoka.net/~beeworks * * Agents for: E H Thorne & B J Sherriff UK. * ****************************************************
