I love when people try to argue with success. Dee has been very open about
her success and has been from the start. Apparently she feels the cell size
is worth the effort and has never dropped her position.
On the opposite side of the equation many no treatment beekeepers argue
commercial beekeepers ways will be our ruin. However (although has been for
many) you can not argue with success when a load of Midwestern bees rolls
into California boiling with bees. Don't believe what one member says about
Midwest bees headed to California. Not the norm.
The big difference above is Dee is totally open about her methods which
allows for criticism. Most commercial beekeepers are very secretive about
their methods and protect methods grandfather passed on. Rumors abound in
halls of bee meetings but actual facts are few and far between.
Jerry Brumenshenk might comment on the openness of commercial beekeepers to
researchers.
What amazes me about Dee Lusby is the number of beekeepers which said she
would surely fail in her methods.
You go girl!
