Hey all contributors and lurkers on The Bee-L:
Bill Harley said:
I am writing from France from where I enjoy reading the messages which
I find very informative. However, abbreviations sometimes pose a
problem
I am a novice beekeeper of 10 years and a lurker on Bee-L for over 9
years. I, like Mr Harley struggled with the acronyms and so as I saw
these acros appear and i figured them out I made a list.. below is
what i have gleaned from over the years and not in any order.

a post by allen dick on 5/2/07

could contribute to what the meaning of these are.
