But Clay, this is the whole point! You actually let the bees decide and held
back interferring with them, so they could do what they had to do!

Do you realize how many cannot do that and must help the bees, because they
have been told they must, or the bees cannnot make it on their own and will
die!

Also, you are going back to a natural system by size. You are not feeding
artificial foods. You are trying to avoid various dopes thrown into a
colony. Your bees are responding.

You do not know how hard this is for others to do. Really!

You are watching and learning. You are gaining much knowledge.

You are patient and kind to your bees. This is good.Likewise they will
respond for you.
