>Actually, I would disagree. I wrote about this very topic in one of my 
Bee Journal articles. Joe Graham complimented me for presenting a 
simple easy way for beekeepers to make splits and raise queens. 

Could be you are right.  I'm thinking historically to when the mags were 
the propaganda arm of the beekeeping manufacturers and queen 
manufacturers.  In those days, beekeeping was a profitable mass 
market.  Lately, I think the mags publish is whatever will sell the 
subscriptions. Some of what I see could be a good fit in The world 
News or National Enquirer.

>What ABJ and Gleanings prefer is how-to articles aimed at their core 
audience which is backyard beekeepers and small timers. These are 
not trade journals.

Not much money in serving the trade.  There are only a few thousand 
real pros -- at the most.

>Apidologie and The Journal of Apicultural Research have a whole 
different type of article and readership. I don't know what most of the 
thousand hivers read. Anybody care to say?

BEE-L?  Probably not, but you might be surprised who gets  CCed with 
anything good.

Actually, I think most of the biggies keep their own council and network 
with others of their group.  A few (the ones who can read) look over all 
the literature and if there is -- once in a while -- a good idea, it gets 
passed around.
