Many beekeepers wonder if CCD is/was a beekeeper caused malady and I would put myself
in that camp.
I cant help but ponder that, extending the life cycle of workers could easily have
implications in disrupting a hive and how it regulates brood rearing, food stores and
wintering.
In my view sticking with the basics and minimizing inputs and manipulations is the key to
healthy bees.
