I too am leery of the USENET thing...economies of scale seems to be
a real issue here...how big does the list want to get and what does
its growth mean...?
Does anybody have a published reference to the impact of Apis mellifera
introduction into the new world. A colleague would like to use this
as a discussion topic in class...what impact on both native plants and
native insects was generated by this introduction? There are several
interesting questions/comments here; one is that the introduction is
continuing with a wild population of Apis, the African bees...another is
that here in Gainesville Florida a beekeeper has been given some notice
that he might have to move off a preserve (Paines Prairie) because his
honey bees are not natural and are upsetting the natural ecosystem of
the preserve....the preserve of course has all kinds of unnatural
organims including a small herd of Bison...
