To the List & beyond,
If you are reading this post most likely you have a computer with Internet
access and are reading this post as a subscriber to BEE-L. There are a lot
of other honeybee related Internet discussion groups out there and Jerry
Bromenshenk has requested that readers from many different lists help the
Colony Collapse Disorder effort by going to http://www.beesurvey.com and
completing the Survey. But there are a lot of beekeepers who have
computers at home and for various reasons do not go on-line. Some
beekeepers that do go on-line do not know about or belong to or
participate in an Internet beekeeping related discussion group or
information distribution service. Surveys have been done in the past by
some of the beekeeping magazines with findings that the majority of
beekeepers, commercial, sideliner and hobbyist alike, do not have
computers at home or they have to go to a library or other location to get
online. As a consequence the open survey that Jerry Bromenshenk is
conducting is somewhat limited to “computerized”participants. Although the
American Bee Journal in it’s March 2007 issue gives mailing directions for
those folks who wish to participate and obtain a survey there are other
beekeeping magazines that did not have this information and frankly there
are a many-many more beekeepers that do not subscribe to any beekeeping
periodical or have computers. So I ask of you to please help Jerry’s CCD
Group’s efforts by taking the contact information below to your state and
local beekeeping meetings, classes, neighbors, etc. and get the word out.
Get other beekeepers involved! Jerry needs a broad statistical database
and the only way to get this is for as many beekeepers possible to respond
to the Survey. Here is the contact information as of February second
pending any amendment by Bee Alert Technology, Inc.:

Attention: Larry Tarver

Your help in obtaining responses to this survey will help yourself and our
industry.
Cheers,
Chuck
