Hi all, 

I've been waiting to make a "formal" introduction, but I thought it would be 
a good time to jump in and let folks know I have started collecting any and 
all information about permaculture & kids. The Childrens Permaculture 
Resource Network is working to collect and distribute information as well as 
create curriculum that will (hopefully) be introduced into schools.

Subject: [permaculture] Permaculture Websites, etc.

Hi Christophe, et all.
Here in Northeastern North America, we have a wiki:
http://northeasternpermaculture.wikispaces.com/

which has emerged as a central organizing tool for inter-regional 
communication via the web..  There is New York City, Philladelphia, Vermont, 
Upstate NY, New Hampshire, Maine, Quebec, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and 
now Maryland, etc. connecting through this medium.
The best part about a wiki is its truly permaculture-  participatory, 
non-hierarchical, no web master or web mistress...  just post and edit in an 
open source way.  Everyone and anyone can contribute.  The most used feature 
is the calendar of events and the annual northeastern regional summer 
gathering (July 3-4, in Vermont this year), but there is a database of 
designers, sites, growing database of plant information, design showcase/ 
feedback, educational resources like free slides and powerpoints, etc.  
We'd love to connect with other regions and flesh out the links page- please 
feel to stop by and contribute!
Best,Keithhttp://sterlingcollege.edu/AD.summerfarm.htmlhttp://yestermorrow.org/http://burlingtonpermaculture.googlepages.com/

The bees while in swarm are not territorial, as they usually are once 
they've settled in "their" hive. One can often scoop a swarm up, or 
shake it off a branch into a box without any reaction from the bees. The 
bees are full of honey, pretty calm, and mostly concerned with 
protecting the queen and finding a new home. Not fighting off intruders.

Many years ago I was going into a local hardware store. No one was using 
their main entrance because there was a swarm of bees on a tree branch 
just outside the door. I explained that in a swarm the bees were quite 
calm, but it didn't change anyone's opinion. So I offered to remove them 
if they could give me a cardboard box and a scrap of cardboard. I 
scooped and shoveled the swarm off the branch and into the box using the 
cardboard scrap; and then moved the box to the back of my station wagon. 
I didn't have any bee equipment with me, and did not get stung; although 
it was a bit crowded in the car on the way home. (I did have a spare 
hive ready for them at home though)
