In my time I have been many sorts of beekeeper, equipment manufacturer and
researcher... In times of illness I have even abandoned bees to their own
devices, but when I started my beekeeping I made a choice between doing all
of this and making a living as a commercial beekeeper. I have learned a
great deal from my 'bits and pieces' approach, I fear that if I had adopted
the commercial route, I would have been too busy to enjoy it and learn as
much.
