I still don?t know which Canadian beekeeper Max is referring to because he never said nor answered when ask, and there are several
well known Beekeepers in Canada.
As far as Ian Steppler, His videos are described as blogs . In the beginning, he simply recorded his daily activities and operations. (By the way, he raises his own queens last I knew of)
so again, I have no idea who Max is referring too. I can only take a guess in the wind! lol I?m Speaking again of Ian Steppler; Many of his videos were short and informative. Good Information could be found within as he would >show and tell< what it was he was doing with his bees (on a daily basis), as well as how and why he was doing it in real time. Not for everyone I?m sure, especially (he or she) who feels they may already know all they need to know 😮. lol; But to a new beekeeper such as I was at the time of his beginning blogs, it was very interesting to see how a professional beekeeper operated, yet willingly shared that day-to-day operation and information with the public which included how and why he did what he did.
Not only that, he was happy to answer questions that a person may have, at least back when I was watching. Very commendable of him
IMHO. (As TheHoneyPump use to say) 😁
