Times Have ChangedFinding a good apiary site — simplified — yeak, rigkt!

摘要

I'm struggling hereI always speak openly with you in these articles. That is a daunting thing, because that openness lives on and on in back issues and essentially forever on the web. You do not need to be reminded that beekeeping recommendations and procedures are a relative thing. They are not exact. They never were. There are nearly endless ways for doing the nearly endless tasks. We laugh about that characteristic. "Get three beekeepers in a room, and you will have three strong but different opinions on any beekeepingsubject." That's funny, but also true.My purpose in my comments below is to say that there are established golden rules for perfect beeyard characteristics. May I suspect that most of us just do the best we can when searching for a site for our bees? My second point in the following commentsis that I personally have - over time - developed a few nearly non-negotiable requirements for a new apiary location. In my article title above, I wrote that times have changed. In reality, it is not necessarily the times that have changed, but rather,it is I who is evolving in my beekeeping craft. I change my rules and expectations as I change. That is what I am trying to say below.
