> Are there any statistics of Bee-L?
Raw numbers are:
* Total number of "concealed" subscribers:          32
* Total number of users subscribed to the list:    754  (non-"concealed" only)

This is down from its high when BEE-L was the only game in town and used to carry about 1200 subscribers.  The decline may be attributed to an oversaturation of beekeeping related lists, althugh some have opined it those rat bastard moderators who drive everyone away.  AFAIK, BEE-L is the only list that makes an attempt to maintain its subscription by automatically deleting subscribers who leave the list without unsubscribing.  If mail is undeliverable for 10 days in a row LISTSERV automatically deletes the undeliverable subscriber.  So the numbers reflect actual people and do not include phantom subscribers.
 
As far as where we are from, one could do an analysis of the addresses to get an idea, but the subscription list was made private years back when a former subscriber harvested the list for commercial purposes.  Suffice it to say we are many, diverse and scattered.
