I've been in beekeeping since 2002 That's plenty of time to get stung. I've worked thousands of hives and seen what works and what doesn't. I can't imagine not having a beehive around to poke my nose into (most of the time with a veil on ;) I've been stung more than once and sometimes even deserved it. I'm just a beekeeper who's sick and of commercial beekeeping practices and tired of research looking in all the wrong places to solve common sense issues. It's time for something new!
