Hummm. . . .

Did I ever mention we go back to the Grandfather’s day of beekeeping?

Please allow me to clarify this *difficult* point of minimalist beekeeping,
which heavily relies on the priori that bees themselves know better, left
alone.

The *experienced* beekeeper with heightened sense of today’s bee problems
should refrain from excessive manipulation and poking because most of
today’s discoveries and findings, in my view, are *a mere footnote to the
only true discovery of beekeeping: bee space.*

And 99 % of interesting exchanges here are mere gossips to that footnote;
for example, “Truck Stop Swarm Capturing,” a problem caused by and
explained by an inept beekeeper whose gross negligence caused the havoc in
the first place.  Of course, the answer to that problem is to KILL the bees
for public safety!
