I completely understand where your coming from. Being a keeper I inspect and check on my bees every week to two weeks.Now I am just a hobby bee keeper. But I see colonies in the yard that haven't been checked in months or a year in some cases.And because those hives aren't kept properly other problems arise as a symptom of their poor husbandry.In fact this week is mite control week.
Excellent topic. Need more conversations about ethics in beekeeping🐝🌸 all over and again and again. 🎯
Thanks for watching!
Beekeeping is cool!

Thank you for sharing your perspective!

Very interesting. How can we tell if our honeybees are impacting native bees in the USA?
This is a great question which deserves a thorough response. Would you mind emailing us your question to honeybee@ifas.ufl.edu?
Good video
