Last month I discussed another example of apicultural dot-comes on the world wide web found at http://beesource.com. This month I will explore several more. The first has the url http://about.com. I mentioned the site briefly in a previous column. My remarks at that time were misconstrued by some to bedisparaging. That was not my intention, and I apologize to Ms. Sherry Medders, who is responsible for developing the site, if what I said caused her harm. She says about herself:"As the beekeeping guide at About.com my job is to gather the best beekeeping information on the web and put it into alphabetical categories. I have compiled a growing categorized list of reladted links on bees and beekeeping. I also write biweekly features, we have weekly Chats hosted by myself or by my Cant Host(HoneyRobberHost), and I manage a Bulletin Bord and distribute a biweekly newsletter. The rusult is a community focused on beekeeping." Certainly her site is one of the most comprehensive on beekeeping-related information yet available and it is regularly updated. I especially like her listings for Africanized bees(AHB), general articles on beekeeping and bee biology. In addition, one can find links to trivia, bee diseases and many other topics linked to the About.com page.
