>Beekeeper organizations must make an effort to keep their members informed and steer them away from the "bad ideas" that are circulating around. 

Unfortunately many "mentors" in bee organizations are passing on some of those "bad ideas". When I came back to beekeeping I went to a bee school. Some of the information given out was absolutely incorrect. I think that is why some newcomers have bees for a year or two and then quit.
