The website "Museum of Bees, Wasps and Ants" (http://www.hitohaku.jp/insect-museum/index.html), which received the 2005 Japan Entomological Society Akitsu Prize, was established on the home page of Museum of Nature and Human Activities, Hyogo for the purpose of encouraging scientific research and promoting general interest about bees, wasps and ants. The website consists mainly of introductory pages for the hymenopteran studies, a database of specimens and archives that document the research activities of Drs. Iwata, Tuneki and Sakagami, who are three great hymenopterists in Japan. At present, all field notes and sketches of the three hymenopterists have been scanned and saved as tiff files and over 1300 pages of the notes and sketches have been uploaded on the website.
