>The articles are not boring to me but what would you like to see there? I haven's subscribed to bee magazines for several years now, mostly because my style of beekeeping; 'no treatment beekeeping' was not being represented in an exclusive manner. I have no interest in reading how to drop mites, medicate foulbrood, fumigate, dust, and or, any new fad of treatments, which they all conflict with my beekeeping philosophy. The great consumer demand for the organic style of beekeeping would suggest to a wise businessman, that a section devoted to this type of methodology would be a logical and prudent business decision for the publishers. This would bring many of the 'new style' homestead beekeepers who typically have entered the field of beekeeping with the specific intent to to produce chemical free honey on their chemical free farm, for consumption by their family and local markets. There has been a tremendous surge in homestead beekeeping, but it appears the publishers fail to see that there is a market niche waiting for this type of literature be available on a 'monthly basis'. Note: market niche means $$$$$$ I also enjoy some of the old bee magazines which would occasionally run a biography of some of the great bee-men, living, or dead, and articles with a historical perspective are always enjoyed.
