.. and I know Finman makes his living from bees and expresses his oppions along those lines.
I am not serious at all but if someone is delevering wrong advises to beginners, that is nice at all.
I am working truly in public works of City of Helsinki. I just run hobby with serious manner. My measure of succeeding is volume and quality of honey. You can make all fool tricks, but how do you know that you are A GOOD BEEKEEPER? I dont want be MEDIUM . How do you know and how do you get feedback if you something wrong? To whom are you listening, your bees or other beekeepers? - Boath I can say.
I am making wrong all the time, because bee do not act like you want.
To you Jerrymach I say, that you have no experience and you see your own truth (what ever it is) piece by piece, not as a whole. Beekeeping will not go that way at all.
You must first learn how bees live over the year. When you have learned 3 years, then you can try to leed them according your desire. Bee is stupid creature and some will not like the idea that you try to be their master. If you learn during 3 years, you are relly good. To most 10 years are not enough and they never learn.
The way you read anothers opinions, fact, true stories, and you argue with your minimum knowledge , it is nice communication at all.
I like to teach beginners but not with your style. I keep hand off. I am not here earning bad mind to me or to others. To be like Berline wall between East and West. You are a good writer, it makes nobody a beekeeper.
Take a new course , please :roll:
It was a question, hoping someone would correct me if I was wrong.
No one run after you and correct all what you are writing.
............with no foundation.
You can surely get foundations from hundred place. That cannot be any problem in our big country. It takes 2 days when post carries to me so much foundations as I order. Or I jump to car and pick them. Last I bought 150 lbs foundations and I gived my own wax to seller 120 lbs.
