> I remember early on, Dennis said that half of the country's beekeepers' bees were doing poorly and the other half were doing pretty well. The problem was getting the info from the one group to the other.

No - it is very easy to get the info to them - the real problem is getting them to absorb it, take the time and trouble to understand it, and then act on it.

As newsletter editor for my local association I frequently disappointed (and a little annoyed it has to be said) to get telephone calls asking for advice on matters which I have covered recently.  When I ask whether the person reads the newsletters I often get a blank stare!  There seems to be no hope for some - they should never have taken up beekeeping in the first place.

Best wishes
