Thanks Mike, but the point I was trying to make is that commercial
beekeeping...managing anywhere from one thousand to ten thousand colonies or
more is logistically different than managing a few colonies. Counting on
your bees for your bread and butter versus doing it for a pleasant
passionate pastime. Moving to pollination contracts, timing treatments and
methods of application, harvest, controlling pests, shortcuts to effective
management...the list goes on. The bottom line is that regardless of the
love, passion and knowledge hobbyists and commercial beekeepers share about
the bees, it all comes down to time management and the most effective way of
dealing with the ticking clock of a short season - hence my appreciation for
the comments on fumidil dusting and Bob's comments on after pollination
stimulation feeding. So much more useful than endless debates and tangents
that BeeL sometimes can go off on at the expense of knowlegeable beekeepers
that have left the list or no longer contribute.
