I oppose splitting just to do what was originally intended.  Bee-L was
started to talk about bee biology.  The diversity of hobbiests, commercial
beekeepers, apicultural inspectors, and researchers adds to the information
exchange.  The problem should not be re-starting lists.  At issue is the
purpose, which people quickly forget.  The objective is to discuss bee
biology - if we could stick to that topic, it wouldn't matter who made up the
list and there would be no need to split.
