Some more of Andy's writings are preserved at http://www.beesource.com/pov/andy/index.htm When I first started surfing the web and found Andy's site I was hooked. I checked it nearly daily. I, like many others, saw some things a bit differently than Andy. I was probably less interested in his editorials than I was his 'news' page. Undated daily it was a phenomenal collection of articles relevant to honeybees and beekeeping from across the country and around the world. Invariably he had 3 or 4 new ones daily. I don't know how he found them other than he must have had an immense newtork of contributors or spent a lot of search time daily. The only thing similar in existance today is Allen's diary. http://www.honeybeeworld.com/diary/default.htm And of course this list and a newsgroup (or maybe two). When Andy went off the web abruptly that spring I was lost so to speak. After much searching it was finally here that I learned of his death. And here I came to for info and since a visitor to Allen's diary. These are selfless people who take the time to keep the rest of us informed. There is, by and large, a lack of daily freshness of information despite the enormous information on the web about beekeeping. Thank you Allen and the moderator of bee-l for these resources.
