First, some of this material is on line - at least for Bee Culture.
However, I suspect that the journals are not anxious to go on-line.  After
all, why would you buy the journal if you could read and print it from a
Web Page?
 
Some Web Pages are supported by Advertisements, and some sites charge an
access fee - you pay for a password), so this problem is resolvable.
However, until the Web and its access speeds up considerably, how long
would it take to access an entire copy of Bee Culture or ABJ?  Also, you
certainly wouldn't browse it in your favorite easy chair - even if you do
have a notebook computer linked to the Web.
 
It is my understanding that Corporate Sponsors of Web sites have yet to
prove that it increases sales - most do it to maintain some presence in an
emerging media (but what they actually gain is still in question).
