Hi Peter,
Short quote from your previous mail!!
"I am not talking about a way of managing bees for profit but to see if
they can be maintained in a healthier state by abstaining from most of
the conventional management practices."
I suggest that if this was actually attained, then rather quickly the
commercial side of apiculture would start tweaking the practices to
create short cuts / reduce negatives et al., which then results in
slipping down a previous greasy slope!
Re-invention of the wheel.
Regards,
Peter
