Hello everyone, I am writing from France from where I enjoy reading the messages which I find very informative. However, abbreviations sometimes pose a problem as in Bob Harrison's "Re: [BEE-L] Bee colonies depleting throughout Southern California". I cannot find definitions in Wikepedia for PMS and PPB which would make sense in the context. Can anyone help or refer me to a site where I could find definitions for abbreviations used in American English. Thanks, Bil Harley France, latitude 45.8, long. 4.8, Alt. 117m Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail Limitez l’impression de vos documents pour le bien de notre planète. *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
