There are MANY environmental factors to consider.
Its strange how "experienced beekeepers" on this
list start to bicker over single environmental
factors as THE DIRECT cause of success or failure.
IMO...
The person that said they succeed solely
because of small cell or any other single
factor is crediting success in error.
The person that said they tried small cell and
failed solely because of it, is attributing failure
in error.
A colony crash or failure is similar to an airplane
crash. Baring an asteroid impact, or some other
obscure event, colonies do not fail or succeed
based on singular reasons. An experienced
beekeeper will always identify a number of
contributors to any failure or success, and there
are many environmental factors to consider.
I teach newbees I have mentored that success
and failure will be the result of several causes.
Please review:
"The environmental factor may be inside or outside
the hive, or even inside or outside the individual bee.
For example, pathogenic microorganisms or irritating
foods are inside but not part of the animal and are
therefore environmental factors."
