a Yoon Sik Kim, Ph. D." snip followed by my comments...
>As you might recall, as early as 2002, I advocated non-treatment of bees. Reading this thread made me realize I am the problem. So be it. I keep mine absolutely without any treatment whatever. As an effing academic, I do my own researches and experiments--practical as hell. I know that would be hard to believe by some of you.
It looks like both of us are guilty as charged. I would think being accused of doing the right thing is not so large a sin? I have been keeping bees (this time) from about the same date you mention above. I guess to some degree I have been successful with this approach although I really do not advocate everyone go down this road. There is a definite cost and having spent time in a large commercial operation I fully understand the economic pressure for anyone that is trying to make a living keeping bees.
Thanks for the link to your site...
