Notice

Dave Cushman died on 22nd February 2011. Shortly before he died he asked me to take over his websites. I later learnt he bequeathed them to me. I am a beekeeper and we discussed the future of the beekeeping website, with Dave telling me I could develop it how I wished. 

He specifically asked that all non-beekeeping websites and pages stay exactly as they are and I promised I would maintain them as long as I could. I understand his reasons and will respect them. They will be archived, but still accessible.

I will try to maintain and develop the beekeeping website in a way that Dave would have approved and to maintain his high standards.

Many visitors are unaware of the situation so I have put shortened versions of this message at the most likely entrance points throughout the website. I apologise for the repetition.

The beekeeping world is grateful to Dave Cushman for the effort he put in on providing what many consider to be one of the world's finest beekeeping websites and I will do my best to maintain it as such. I want it to continue to be known as "Dave Cushman's website" so Dave is permanently remembered for his huge contribution to beekeeping.

This website is never stagnant, new pages are added regularly, old pages are continuously updated. A visit to the navigation page may help you find things easily. Dave Cushman was unable to complete much of what he started. If I am able to do so I will, otherwise I may remove some links to avoid annoyance. Please see About this website for further information.

Beekeeping & Bee Breeding

This website is dedicated to the study of bees and the education of both beekeepers and the general public, but Dave had other interests as well and these are reflected in the links at left. To help those who are looking for specific things the buttons on the left have been separated into categories.

With a website of this complexity  there will inevitably be broken links and some images may be missing. Please report such faults by using this Email facility.

Dave Cushman was a disabled gentleman with limited physical ability.

He lived near Leicester in the U.K. Midlands at:-
SYSTON, Leicestershire.

This beekeeping website is worked on and updated regularly and is intended as a resource for beekeepers and the non-beekeeping public. The information has been acquired from a huge number of sources and can be utilised by school children for homework projects as well as researchers and scientists.

This website always contains much 'work in progress' and some parts of it are untidy as a result. I apologise for such untidiness and hope that any partial information is of use. In some cases information has been gleaned from other websites. If any of the material is copyrighted please let me know by Email and I will either remove it or seek permission to retain and if appropriate to give credit for it.

Please surf freely, there are thousands of pages of information here, and many links to other useful sites.
Dave deliberately held no copyright and granted free use of any material or software (apart from family photographs all of which are copyright, some of which are the copyright of his sister Anji Cushman and some others are the copyright of his father, Albert Cushman. Please respect this).

The policy of this website has always be openness and will continue to be so. If you wish to use material you are welcome to do so, but please give a credit as follows "Credit: Dave Cushman's website".

I hope you will leave this website having gained a little more knowledge of beekeeping, bees and their products.
