>>I think it all comes down to honesty- honestly :)
>>I've had my fair share of run-ins with beeks who seem to know it all
I think we have to include the point that many of our "mentors" deliberately give misinformation, in order to decrease competition. I have been given plenty of this faulty information in my short beekeeping career, and have had hives die and have lost money because of it.
I would encourage any new beekeepers to seek mentors who operate hives a few hundred miles away, in order to avoid some of this potential conflict of interest.
