I must confess that the recent postings to BEE-L have been less informa-
tive than that to which I've been accustomed.  Fortunately for me, I have
been away for a few days and have not had to deal with the posts until
this morning.  Things seemed to settle down around Sunday, and I hope
the noise has left the bee biology discussion list.  Although I am not
the moderator of BEE-L, I will alert the POSTMASTer at our site to the
unwelcomed noise on the list and request that he take action if need be.
I apologize for the drivel that has been coming from BEE-L lately and
request that legitimate subscribers remain subscribed.  Please don't
signoff based on a day or two of noise posted by a few who are not
inclined to honor the mores of the Internet.  BEE-L has been violated
by a few unwelcome guests.  Don't make the list suffer further by
removing yourself!
