Hi all,
The Virtual Beekeeping Gallery now has an extremely efficient system for
Beekeeping Classified Ads (BCA).
This is a free service (make the most of it, the Gallery receives over
30,000 visits a month!) and can be found at the following address:
http://www.beekeeping.com/photoads/
The classified ads come under 8 headings:
1) Honey (trading)
2) Other hive products (royal jelly, pollen, beeswax, propolis, venom,
etc.)
3) Bees (hives + colony, swarms, queens, etc.)
4) Beekeeping equipment (extractors, pumps, honey ripeners, trucks,
etc.)
5) Jobs (situations vacant and wanted)
6) Training, courses (offered, wanted)
7) Pollination (contracts)
8) Miscellaneous (other beekeeping items)
Don't hesitate to put forward any other useful headings to:

The system contains a host of powerful functions:
A) When submitting a Classified Ad:
- you will be able to enhance it with one of your own photos
- you will be able to select its running time, 1, 2 or 3 months
- you will receive your own password enabling you to return and change
the text or image, renew the ad for another 1, 2 or 3 months or to
simply delete it
- you will receive a warning by email ten days before its expiry date
- your email address cannot be seen within your classified ad (nor in
the HTML code for each page) thanks to advanced Smartmail technology. As
a result it will not be snapped up by the robots that spam our
electronic mail boxes. People interested in your ad will write to you
via a form which also uses Smartmail technology.
B) When consulting the Classified Ads :
- you are able to home straight in on the Classified Ads due to a
powerful key words' search function
- if you are after a particular item and would like to avoid returning
to the ads section every day, you have the option of subscribing to a
free warning system. To do this, you define the key words you are
interested in, for example "extractor" and "propolis", and you will be
informed by a personalized email each time one of these words appears in
a classified ad posted after your last visit.
We hope this already popular service, over 50 Classified Ads in the
first few days, will prove useful to you.
Warning! This classified ads section is not to be used for discussions.
For discussions, go to the following address:
http://www.beekeeping.com/forum/
These pages contain:
1) three Apiservices forums (FAQ, Poisoning and International Honey
Market)
2) seven Apimondia forums (Apitherapy, Biology, Beekeeping equipment,
Economy, Flora and Pollination, Pathology, Rural Development)
3) an SPMF forum (Honey adulteration)
Thank you for reading through right to the end. Any suggestions to
improve our services will be most welcome. Once again, many thanks.
