As a 'natural' bee keeper, I am very much in the minority, and have come away from the bee meetings feeling frustrated and disappointed over the effort to produce maximum honey at the expense of the bees. I finally came to realize the more vocal members speak loudly about the need to treat, but there are some 'quiet' members who don't treat, they are just quiet about it.

I figured there is always something to learn especially being in the same state. I subscribed to Solomon's forum after it was mentioned on Facebook and am determined to be treatment free. My one hive made it through this past CT winter and seems to be going strong and hope this new hive will be as fortunate.Trudynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1347024209749983628.post-37425011092751312812015-06-17T13:09:07.246-04:002015-06-17T13:09:07.246-04:00I don't think feedly is working (since I haven...I don't think feedly is working (since I haven't gotten notified of any updates), so I'll try the subscribe button.

I get my updates to your site through feedly which is great for notifications of updates.<br /><br />I'm finding that attitudes are changing slowly in our area. There are a lot of backyard beeks (like me) who are trying to be treatment free, but some of the commercial people still deride people for trying to be TF.Donhttp://www.buddhaandthebees.netnoreply@blogger.com
