<font size=2 face=sans-serif><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:sans-serif'>
Here's something that may be of interest. It's a USDA APHIS
listserv that allows users to receive news from APHIS on a wide range of
topics. There's already a topic for Honey Bee Importation and we wanted
to add one for bumble bees and domestic honey bee issues, thus yesterday's
creation of the new topic called "Bee Health." The Federal
Registry Notice topic is also an important one. </span></font> <br>

Signing up for this is easy and of course, free:</span></font> <br>
