Gardening: The Joy of Bees

I have an affection for bees that approaches the fetishistic, and we boomers are going to need them in our dotage when we wind on the commune. BeeSource.com is a great resource for both amateur and professional apiarists. It was created by Barry Birkey, a web designer and beekeeper. One section has downloadable illustrated instructions for a variety of beehives, honey extractors, pollen traps, an Apidictor, and more. The site contains news stories and features, links to suppliers of bees and beekeeping equipment in Australia, Europe, South Africa, and the Americas, a bulletin board with multiple forums, links to apiary discussion groups, and annotated links to beekeeping sites and to beekeeping periodicals and associations. <http://www.beesource.com/>
