Hi Jim, I live in Charleston SC and tried to do the same thing i.e. look it up in the phone book. NOT The first place that I was able to get information was from the local agricural agent and from a friend in Atlanta that told me to get in touch with the local club and gave me an old catalogue. A BIG BIG HELP!! I also bought a few items from SEARS (not in that side of the business any more) and received another catalogue from the company supplying them. I think that maybe the list manager should set up a FAQ that would list all the nationally affiliated bee clubs and a point of contact for each. That information shouldn't be too hard to obtain and could only help them to obtain new, interested members. David Hinz asked a similar question earlier so I think it would be a positive addition without detracting from some of the higher level discussions carried by the board.
