I was not trying to poke insult at you or your beekeeping management.
And if I have, it was unintentional.  You are free to do what you want
with your bees, and subject to your own thoughts and conclusions, as
am I.  Just challenging your ideas aginst my ideas.
You are making a very bold statement.  Beekeepers are mearly
managing their hives by the way they were taught.  This leads me to
the conclusion that you must feel beekeepers have little to no
understnading of  beekeeping and beebehaviour.  It is one thing to
state that you feel that wrapping is unecissary, but to state ignorance
amoungst beekeepers for wrapping is a little arrogant.
A big factor I feel is climate, to which ours differ extreemly(as
mentioned).  So our conclusions will differ because of it.  I realize you
feel strongly about this, and seem convinced that wrapping is
detremental to the hive, but all I can gather is that you are still mearly
speculating.  We will have to wait and see how your trial ended up.  I
can scrape up some trials which favour wrapping if you want.
