As promised, that article did deliver entertainment value.   In addition to problematic beekeeping claims, there's also a sloppy attempt at Latin.  

It states:  "He created his firm Apis Arborea, which is Latin for bees in trees."
Unfortunately, that's not correct Latin.  It translates as "Wooden Bee".

It should be:  Apes in Arboribus, or even Apes Arboribus.    (Dative Plural, "Bees in Trees") 
I hope his beekeeping is better than his Latin...
