The page is up and running at
http://www.dave-cushman.net/bee/bibbacode.html
BUT many of the links from the text lead nowhere!

The page itself is however more or less complete, with a few abbreviations
(3) still to be added when I get confirmation of the details from a third
party.

Many on the terms may only make sense in terms of breeding selection that is
aimed at improving AMM type bees (which was the main reason for it's
development) and some of the terms are 'old fashioned'.

 I will be happy to 'attempt' to explain any terms that you do not
understand.
