GENERAL BEEKEEPING - MAIN POSTING FORUM. / Re: Lost Four Out of Five
« Last post by FatherMichael on Today at 02:25:47 pm »Years ago I had two cotton farmers in my church, Jim and David. Jim planted and spent no more money on his crops. David said. "I apply every horticultural advantage I can to produce the highest possible yield."This is a perfect example of how "natural" doesn't always work for everyone, depending on your situation and your goals. The other problem is that everyone definition of "natural" is different, especially in beekeeping. I would consider myself a natural beekeeper, but I wouldn't fit many people's definition because I inspect my bees, or because I don't have horizontal hives, or because I do sometimes treat. It's more about finding what works for you than fitting anyone else's arbitrary standards.
I had that exact thought - finding what works for me here.
