The Perfect Beekeeper
The perfect beekeeper is he who, although still as enthusiastic as he was at the outset, knows how to apply, in time, the lessons which experience has taught him and to adapt himself with tact to circumstances. He does not know everything -- on the contrary, he becomes aware that the longer he keeps bees the more he learns and that perfection consists in perfecting oneself more and more, casting aside routine in favor of progress, not forgetting the lessons of the past, the experience of bee masters, and the realistic whims of his beloved bees.
Rev. Fr. Dugat in "The Skyscraper Hive" 3rd. ed. 1947
reprinted in "The Irish Beekeeper" June 1965
