Welcome to Beekeep.org!
Saturday, 12 June 2004
Beekeep.org is a offshoot of www.HoneyRunApiaries.com.  It was started because I wanted to offer more and more beekeeping information on my website and it was getting hard to manage and I didn't want it to get too mixed up with the commercial side of the operation.  I didn't want to see people avoid referencing the information for fear of sending business to a compeditor (not a big deal in my opinion and I do it all the time myself when someone else can serve the client better, but I know there are some in the industry that feel threatened by such things).  Plus, many of the things I wanted to offer simply couldn't be offered with the website's current structure.  So Beekeep.org was born (it also happens to be my license plate) 
 
Features I'd like to see: 
 
  • Beekeeping News (Done), and links to any other beekeeping news feeds. (Working on it...)
  • A beekeeping link and resource directory.  Beekeeping websites, company information, etc.
  • A Wiki (beekeeping only of course)
  • Beekeeping Event Calendar - Meetings, Classes, and Events. (DONE!)
  • A beekeeping forum. (Done, and it even works!)
  • Swarm removal and honey locator.
  • Beekeeping Plans.  (Done)
  • Research documents on beekeeping. (Done)
  • Space for pages and information on beekeeping associations. (ie. where they can post their newsletters, etc.)
  • Space where members can post their own information.
  • Beekeeping books (both public domain and pictures and links to those that are not) (Done)
  • Other relevant information such as the Pink Pages (Done, Pink pages are under articles)
  • Recipes!  (DONE!)
  • Online Chat (Done.  It's very simple, but we can upgrade if it gets some use.  You must login first.)

How, exactly I'm going to fit this all into one website, I'm not sure at this point.  For now it will be run in extra space on my current server, but as it grows it will likely need to be moved to it's own server.
