I think, Vince, this explains why beekeeping is in the state it is in, there
are people out there with good ideas and total dedication. Unfortunately as
this response shows there is a sad lack of committment to follow through.
There are approximately 600 members of BEE-L and only 6.5% responded, a
pathetically low number. We can probably make the excuse that those not in
North America didn't think you expected them to reply, but is is still a
very low number.
        Roy Nettlebeck is pleading for us to work together, and yet we
haven't got the time to fill out a questionaire, when we are sitting at the
computer anyway!!!!!
