Interesting what the media feeds the public, well intended it seems but bogus none the less.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the article. It's a great read. Toward the end of it, the beekeeper describes his relationship to bees and how a tbh facilitates that. It's a close parallel with my own experience.

For the unread that is an Tanzania t-bar hive.

My favorite part of the article is " Propolis (the waxy substance made by bees to enclose the comb). ".

So close! But no cigar.

You have to laugh because it is well-intentioned ignorance.

I really liked the ethos of the article and his take on his bees.

Yeah, there were a couple other instances where you could tell the writer didn't quite follow everything he/she was writing about. But it was definitely a refreshing article. It points out pretty much all the reasons I got interested in beekeeping...good to know there are others that see things that way too. Thanks for posting the link Rogerio.
