Hi Guys,

While attempting to study genetics I did little more than steady the book, I
think :>)))

The success I've had with my small cell bees, etc. had been noticed by one
of my commercial beekeeping friends. I hadn't seem him for a few years, but
stopped by while out riding my motorcyle. His bees were in deep trouble with
the mites. Many mites could be seen in most of his treated hives. He knew of
my success with small cell and asked for my advice.

My first attempts with small cell were from a commercial perspective. And
that momentum carried my for several years. But I hadn't thought about it,
that way, for some time. I left commercial beekeeping behind in 2000.

It's one thing to be successful with tens of non-migratory hives. It's
another thing to be successful with small cell, in a migratory operation,
with thousands of hives.

Regards
Dennis
Thinking success can be measured in a variety of ways
