Hi All I am not trying to poach members from Bee-L. The discussion group that I have set up is not a rival to any existing List. It is not a general beekeeping group, but specialises in Instrumental Insemination. It deals with methods and techniques, II equipment design and the manufacture of "home made" equipment. As such it will not appeal to everybody and it is thought that traffic will be low, so that it will not clutter your inbox. If you have any interest or expertise in II please join us and share your knowledge. It is hoped that the specialised nature and low traffic may attract academics and experst that would not normally take part in discussion groups. There are Database, Files and Photo Album facilities which can be accessed by members and viewed by anyone. These facilities are on the II-List webpage, which is... http://groups.yahoo.com/II-List If you wish to subscribe Send a blank Email to...

[log in to unmask] Guidelines This list is about Instrumental Insemination and is not a bee breeding group. It is not intended that any particular strain of bee should become a discussion topic. There are other lists and groups for that purpose. Please stick to the subject. (The discussion of genetic theories and allele problems are allowed provided that the discussion is generalised to all strains and not a specific race.) Questions on bee management are not appropriate unless they deal with specific practices of drone and queen rearing for ultimate II purposes. This is not a list for general beekeeping problems. Personal comments should be directed to the person concerned by direct Email as they clog up the automatic archive facility and disrupt the flow of the thread. Please do not include the senders text when replying to a message, by all means snip out phrases or sentances to reply to, but please do not include the whole of the original message. I hope you will at all times be civil to each other and observe suitably high standards of etiquette and language. (The list is unmoderated and thus relies on you good judgment.) You may receive this invitation through various Lists that you are subscribed to, I appologise for any inconveniance that this may cause. 73s and Regards from Dave Cushman G8MZY Website: http://website.lineone.net/~dave.cushman IBList Archive: http://website.lineone.net/~d.cushman ------------------------ Yahoo!
