Newsgroups & Email Lists

One of the best ways to keep up to date and share ideas is to subscribe to the various Email Lists, they act as a forum for the discussion of many topics and people from all over the world give useful input and suggestions. Many academics and established beekeepers are members of these discussion groups and give much help, encouragement and stimulation. Experience (or lack of it) is no bar... All are treated equally. No question is ever "dumb", but you should take the trouble to search the archives of several groups before asking it.
This is probably the largest group with a high proportion of American and Canadian subscribers. It is a "moderated" list, meaning that ALL submissions to the list are first sent to the panel of list moderators for review and approval prior to distribution. To assist with "round the clock, spanning the globe coverage", the four BEE-L moderators reside in three countries on two continents. Any one of the BEE-L moderators may approve a submission, whereas for a submission to be denied general distribution, ALL the moderators must withhold their approval. This ensures certain standards are upheld.
All commands must be sent by Email to the
"LISTSERV address," listserv@listserv.albany.edu
SUBSCRIBE BEE-L as message text.
There is another way of accessing BEE-L and searching the
List archive, and that is via Allen Dick's Website
http://www.honeybeeworld.com/
Then use the web interface. You will also be able to access the whole BEE-L toolkit from
that page.

You may also visit the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/irishbeekeeping web site to modify your subscriptions, look in the list archive at the previous messages, or view the database and files section.
Log in with your user name and password, you will require a "Yahoo ID" (all the Yahoo Groups Lists require this). Some of the questions that you will be asked may seem intrusive, if you feel this is impertinent, then by all means give fictitious answers.
The archive, compiled by myself, only refers to the original ListBot messages, the new list (23rd June 2001) has a searchable archive system.
