Hi,

It seems theses kind of stuff appends, My Dad had bee 50 years ago... and
he stopped 40 ago because he had become "allergyc"...

When I started 7 years ago to have bees, He stated that it could be
dangerous for him because allergy NEVER vanish from itself but only by a
cure. He was helped in this assumption by some members of the family that
are doctors...

He off course got stung and seems this raction seemed normal... So he went
back to the bees. We got them, togherther.. and for me it's a great help
(sometime...)

Bernard.


The most amazing stuff is the difference between the way he is handling
bees and the way I have learned to do so.  He believe its wrong to visit
too often. So we made a compared test two where visited , and two where
nearly never visited... he couldn't run quick anough to catch the swarms.

Even before we started the test, my frinds were kidding about it: I had
putted the bees in such a way that  he could only have a huge qqty of swarm
and no honney... and it worked well.

His theory that sayd that a hive cold produice between 5 and 10 KG/year
turned confirmed while the bees that folowed my theory confirmed 60 KG/year....
