Peter,
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.
Why no treatment? Because I do not want to live in an environment where bees are kept by all-knowing beekeepers in an ICU with a regimen of I Pee Em. That is just not the kind of world I would like to inherit to the next generations.
Great to break silence once and for all.
