A reminder to all that the newsgroup sci.agriculture.beekeeping  exists and
often has good material. Beginner questions are often discussed there, as well
as deeper issues.

You can reach sci.agriculture.beekeeping using a newsreader.  If this does not
work for you there are some other ideas at
http://www.internode.net/HoneyBee/Bee/sci.htm. Personally, I find myself reduced
to using Deja.com on the web since my ISP does not have good newsfeed.

alt.hobbies.beekeeping also exists, but does not have as much traffic.

Another thing: When you send a message to BEE-L, you should receive a
confirmation message almost instantly from the LISTSERV.

Ideally we should check our headers before sending, but sometimes we forget.  If
you do not get a confirmation, the message never got to the moderators.  Check
in your 'sent' folder to see if the message was sent only to the writer of a
previous article.  If so, edit and resubmit.

I mention this because it just happened to me.
