Three things but all connected.

Bees are better at keeping bees than a lot of beekeepers.

Because of that, those same beekeepers are able to corrupt the knowledge
base and lead new beekeepers into ultimate failure (until they also fail).

So learn from someone who has been around for a long time, is
successful, relies on science, and lets you know they do not know
everything about bees. (I have my honor roll of beekeepers on this list
who fit that. Plus one who is not on the list - Tony Jadczak.)
