While creating this web site, we contacted a number of personalities around the world well-known for their interest in bees. We discussed our project with them and asked for their advice. Most of these inviduals were patient and kind enough to help us in their busy schedule.

We received help in different ways. Some of the individuals referred us to helpful books while others granted us permission to use their materials - photographs and text - on our website. Still others came up with invaluable advice and suggestions. Here we would like to thank the following in for their support and help.
