Can any one help -- I've seen references to the bombus list and I'd like
to get more info  the address I've seen is

But I can't seem to send to it, or to listerv at that host name.
 
Any help would be appreciated as we have two (at least) colonies of
beautiful fuzzy black and yellow guys in our lawn (along with the apis
happy in their hive) and we'd like to learn more about them, etc.
 
As long as i'm posting, a bombus question:
 
In one hole in the ground there are bumblebees
and then there are BUMBLEBEES -- big ones that we call "B-52s" (after
the plane, not the rock group).  Are they drones?  Then why do I see
them nuzzling up to flowers?
 
Thanks for help in either area.
 
Thanks,
 
Richard
