>It's not denigrating to you This is a touchy subject. For many, paywalls prevent reading the latest scientific literature. Pete does a fantastic job at providing the List with snips of interest from that literature. I try to review and apply the most recent scientific findings in the articles that I publish in ABJ and then post to my website. Since my website has a search function, it's a potential source for information on many aspects of bee biology not found in typical textbooks. When we get into arcane subjects, the List becomes a place for education as well as discussion. All should realize that the shorthand used in email communication can easily lead to misunderstandings that were unintended. -- Randy Oliver Grass Valley, CA www.ScientificBeekeeping.com *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
