>I've been experimenting with let-alone beekeeping. Last year I fed no
syrup, did not medicating, and put on patties in April. The bees did well,
but I ran into some AFB. I may write an article...

>Patties are so much cheaper than buying nucs and packages, and splitting
strong hives of healthy bees is more certain to work out than relying on bee
suppliers who may run into problems delivering quality stock on time.
