It has been interesting to hear who reads the list.
I live and keep bees in western Sonoma county, CA. After about 15 years I'm
still strictly a hobbyist, having ever had 3 colonies at most, I'm keeping 2
now. Living about 7 miles inland from the (cold) northern Pacific with the
local weather (for instance, it's about 9:00 AM, 51F/11C here in the first
week of summer!) my main concern is keeping a colony alive, forget, in all but
a few years, getting honey. I'm considering trying to keep Orchard Mason Bees
(if memory serves) as pollinators for my fruit trees.
I read BEE-L for the same reason I read ABJ: to keep up with new developments.
BEE-L also gives me a chance to read an occasional post from researcher in
the field, especially Adrian Wenner, who I had the good fortune to meet a few
years back, who's books I have read, and who's input I value highly.
