We are obviously not as kindred a spirit as you think.

They do not always pipe on this pipeline. Just because they do not pipe on
this pipeline does mean they no longer are keeping bees. They tier of their
observations and conclusions falling on deaf ears. There are other pipelines
where SC and alternative beekeeping methods (ABM) is discussed respectfully.
Their are many, many beekeepers working on and keeping bees using SC and
ABM. Natural cell size usage, Natural nutrition, Natural breeding and
Natural mating using no other alternative to alter or skew results will lead
to the success that the whole industry is wishing for. It is already
happening, but these beekeepers are falling on deaf ears presently and this
pipeline is, for the most part, not ready to hear of their success. They
have tried and were shut up and put out.
