Even those that went bankrupt? Applies both in business (as certain US  
presidential candidate reminds us, despite 4 bankruptcies) as well as in  
beekeeping, where multitudes follow the "experienced" beekeepers yet are  
never, or rarely, able to overwinter their colonies successfully.

The sweet spot is somewhere between pure theory and practice and everyone  
has to figure it out for themselves, but painting with broad brush strokes  
leads us into orthodoxies.

As a hobbyist, one of the most eye-opening lessons of Prof.Bromenschenk's  
classes were films from the commercial operations. It makes one appreciate  
how long the chain is and how much work goes on before that queen cage, or  
a 3 pound package of live bees arrives at one's doorstep, or that jar of  
honey ends up on a big store's shelf.
