Whatever. My bees winter well on what I think to be Goldenrod. Do I have
any dysentery in my bees...a little. Do I lose any bees from it...a few.
So I should take all the honey and feed back syrup...50000 pounds of it??
To save a few colonies?? I hardly think so.
And I better dose them with menthol and Fumidil..'cause science says so?? I
think not.
I guess I'll stick with my proven methods, and take my 40 ton average crop
to the bank. Folks living near the Mason-Dixon line shouldn't tell me how
to winter bees on the Canada border. It just isn't the same game. Remember,
my "anecdotal evidence" comes from 30 + years of experience wintering bees
in the north.
I guess there's more than one way to skin a cat.
