Hi all

I am going to make a request for information that some of you may have 
squirrelled away on your computers, but before I do, I am going to 'beat 
about the bush' a bit to explain why I want it...

I have recently given a lecture about the sizes of cells and the effects 
on the bees, while I was preparing it, I approached Dennis Murrell to 
cadge some of his photos that were used in his extensive measuring 
routine (I wanted to explain to my audience the need to look deeper into 
the fine structure of a nest), but Dennis informs me that he removed the 
data from his site some time ago and then scrapped the data at the time 
he changed to a new computer.

The loss of this data on his website has prompted several UK beekeepers 
to ask me if it is possible to reconstruct the data from fragments 
cached in various places on the web.

This is because we are just getting some interest stirred up that may 
lead to some extra research being done and showing what Dennis achieved, 
may just about swing it.

I have had some success and recovered some of the text from the 'Wayback 
machine', but I am asking if you would look in your favourites for any 
saved pages or images from any of the following site URLs

http://www.geocities.com/usbwrangler/
http://wind.prohosting.com/tbhguy/bee/
http://www.websamba.com/topbarguy/
http://tbhbguy.ocatch.com/
http://fire.prohosting.com/topbarguy/
http://snow.prohosting.com/topbarguy/

I should say as well that Dennis has agreed for me to ask and that any 
web pages that result from the re-construction will be submitted for 
Tennis's approval.

If you have any fragments or files, no matter how small, please forward 
them to...
