Thanks. I think this approach is not all that radical. Of course the
problem, as is often the case in beekeeping, is that one beekeeper can
decide whatever he/she likes, but the ability to achieve that depends on
what the neighbours and passersby are doing. Although some advocate strict
regulation, bordering on fascism, beekeepers, being beekeepers tend to
ignore regulations where they can, making many good ideas impracticable.
...(b) Practise "primitive" beekeeping as is the case in Africa by allowing
natural selection processes to determine which are the most significant
characteristics for selection and not the beekeepers or bee scientists, at
least to some extent. It is also best to use an un-manipulated wild
population, and for this population to be as large as possible.
Does this include in your view, repealing the prohibition against
non-movable frame hives?
