There are no longer facilities to support this service, but other bulletin boards are presently operating which contain much of this information. One beekeeper-run bulletin board is Wildbees BBS in California. The use of graphics on this system is extensive. APC is a worldwide body of member networks dedicated to providing low-cost global communications services for people and organizations working for the environment, peace, conflict resolution, health and public interest. From any APC host, electronic mail can be exchanged with Geonet, Internet, Poptel, Janet, Bitnet, UUCP, Telecom, DASNet, Fidonet, and most other academic or commercial networks.
Users can send and receive telex and send fax messages directly from the network.
Other bulletin board systems are being established in Holland and Prague, Csekloslavakia. Over 200 subscribers from around the world exchange information on all species of bees through this network. The above developments are just the beginning of a revolution in electronic delivery of apicultural information. Even to the initiated, the general field of computer-assisted information management is expanding at a furious pace. New technologies are emerging daily.
