Hi All,

If my little voice may be heard;

Maybe it is because none of the voices above are unified in the mission of
keeping bees without any treatments at all. It is not unlike human nature for
individuals to have different opinions and their own way of doing things. I only
know of one in your list above that is keeping bees successfully commercially
without any treatments at all. With this persons success there is little money
to be made by chemical companies, supply houses, or bee research labs. Money
talks and the solution only makes money for the beekeeper. It is time for the
beekeeper to begin keeping bees for themselves instead of having others do the
things it will take to keep bees alive. I only know of one person in your list
above doing this and this person is teaching others how to do it without the
greed or the need to make money teaching it or sharing it. There is no need for
patented Queens, treatments or fancy apparatus to keep bees alive, all that is
needed is for beekeepers to learn how to keep bees as they were kept over 100
years ago.
