RE: Natural Beekeeping | Intro to Catching Wild Swarms (Vlog)
Wow! This is so cool. I am obsessed with the idea of bee keeping and desperately want to get moving forward on it. I love that you are doing this naturally and patiently. Local bees will surely be more resilient than those that have been shipped around and man handled (sometimes from other countries). You've given me a lot to consider.
I am eagerly awaiting all updates on this! :)
You are so right that local bees are more resilient! You're so spot on here. Some of the concepts behind natural bee keeping are improving genetics and survivability, not pampering unhealthy colonies with narrow genetics by letting weak genes die out instead of multiply. Dr. Leo has taught us both a lot and are loving the process so far. This book has been a valuable asset for some more historical info on natural bee keeping.
Happy to have you engaged and on board @walkerland!
I wish you two would come live here for a while! We could use your hands on expertise! I absolutely love everything that you are doing. I am soaking it up as much as possible. One day the book link you'll be sharing is your own book. Seriously. You are inspiring.
you are so sweet. this is such an encouraging comment i'm contemplating printing it out for a rainy day! xo
