I gained freedom from treatments, I gained the ability
to harvest from the supers and broodnest without fear
of harming my family and friends with contaminates, I
gained freedom from buying fancy queens when my first
hygienic test of 10 small cell feral colonies revealed
6 out of 10 were hygienic, I gained a 90% winter
survival success, and the part I love most is I gained
the ability to look my customer in the eye and say
with honesty that my product is safe.

How do you know that these weren't' beekeeper
failures? ;>)
More research needs to be done in this area!

I have learned that beekeepers will blame the queens,
bees, methodry, environment, winter condensation,
everything but themselves.

I'm not sure that Allen had a chance to research small
cell,  he was still regressing and stabilizing.

I'm finding success!  Anyone in PA, come out and visit!
