Useful Reference Links

Because I bookmark so many sites, then can't easily find them again, I'm going to list here sites which I find useful regarding subjects relating to my blog, such as bee identification, foodstuffs of butterfly larvae, wildflower identification and similar. I'll just keep adding to it, and I hope it will prove useful for others too.
