Hello everyone at Bee-L,

I have been just subscribed to this server by grateful assistance of Dr. Matthew Shepherd.

I feel glad to make an announcement to all the Bee-L subscribers that the initial issue of the bee bibliography was released on 19 November, 2002. In the begining it contain 12,110 research references on bees with 6077 authors (list of publications of 514 authors complete and for 800 more are expected as complete, yet to verify), because of limitation of web space. 

Everyone can visit at following website and download the e-book free of cost, i.e. without any login charges. However, kindly do not forget to send me your inclusions and amendments since you will agree with me that such exhaustive work can not be completed without a world wide cooperation.

Please convey the message to all the bee biologists linked to your goodself.

With kind regards to all.

Yours sincerely,

Dr. Rajiv K. Gupta
