We're new to both beekeeping & BEE-L. Starting with three hives and plannng
to expand, we can use all the information we can get! (Especially since the
usual assistance routes--local extension office & state beekeeper
organization--have been aggravatingly silent. Our hives have made it
through the winter in fine shape and the ladies have been out and about for
a week or so now.
 
For your questions:
 
> * Is the editing good (We trim excess quotes)?
Good enough that I can follow the threads.
 
> * The selection?  (Too many or too few articles)?
The Australian & UK posts are occasionally interesting but not of direct
interest to us at this time.
 
> * Do you want selections from sci.agriculture.beekeeping?
Yes, please! Our ISP is psychotic. Sometimes I  honestly believe newsgroup
posts are tossed into a hat and then a few picked out and put on the
server. There's no order or reason. For example, today (3/21) there were
six posts, none more recent than 3/18 and one from 3/7, and we check the
newsgroups every day!
 
Thanks for the list--every little bit helps!
