Peter L Borst >While our ancestors may have been as smart as we are, there are two other factors that brought us to where we are now. One, the assemblage of the body of knowledge, over thousands of years. Second, the large numbers of minds working together constitute a collective intelligence that surpasses anything that this planet has every had. <

Right of course. 

My point  is we should not stick so rigidly to the mainstream and not be so dismissive of off-line thinking.  Beekeeping should be a wide church. 

The narrowness of the Catholic Inquisition suppressed Gallileo but he was right. 

The natural beekeepers, or hippies as some call them, have a perception but we would say insufficient information. So they should be helped, not ridiculed outright.
