To the Bee-Listers:
 
Regarding beedots, I received the following information.  Would someone who
subscribes to BEE-L and BOMBUS-L see if it's worth copying to BOMBUS, and if
so, do so?  I'm not a subscriber there.  Many thanks to all.

From another source, regarding Bee Works:
 
The price for a queen marking kit (=500 tags) is $43.15 including shipping
to the US.  For quickest results, e-mail him the PO number and he will
send the tags right away.
 
______________________________
 
 
We have sold these for many years not only to beekeepers, but to people
researching shellfish and many other invertebrates. Judicious location or
alignment can give many more number permutations than the 500 in the kit.
 
Discs are also available without numbers; although slightly more awkward to
apply, the regularity of the outlne really stands out in the hive, more than
the irregular outline of a drop of paint, particularly with yellow, when
there
is a lot of yellow pollen around.
 
For one kit, air-mailed to you, the cost is £21.82 (pounds sterling) plus
£1.57 carriage, but quantities may get discount.
 
Early next year, Bioquip Products of Gardena, CA will become our American
stockists of these and possibly other items.

There is a polish company that makes the same at a slightly better price
(about half).
 
"Pete Illgner" <[log in to unmask]> will be able to give you 
the address of a German student who was here two months ago who got 
some of them. His Name was Peter Neuman - just send a message to Pete 
Illgner asking him for Peter N's address.
 
They used them to mark a lot of bees. They are of comparible quality 
to the german ones, although occasionally the numbers are printed 
skew, but one can still read them.
