The whole problem with the world is that fools and
fanatics are always so
certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

Bertrand Russell --
I'm in Ontario this month,
driving my mother to Toronto to have hip replacement surgery. On the way
here, I was featured as a guest speaker in Iowa, and had a very enjoyable time
there. I'm hoping to
come back and fill in more details here when I have time.
After Mom was comfortable in
hospital, I drove to Rhode Island to see my son, Jonathan, and family, and I
stopped at the Empire State Winter meeting on the way back. More to come
on that!
In the meantime, here are my
BEE-L posts for the month

Re: Succeeding with small cell |
For those wondering where I have disappeared to, I have given up on BEE-L for now -- at least
until my last message, which was refused by the BEE-L
moderator, is approved. The post seems quite level and polite to me, but
maybe I'm wrong. It seems reasonable to ask details from a person who
reports things that others do not see. Maybe he is in different
circumstances. We'll never know if we don't know the details behind his
reports.
Here is my
last BEE-L Post. Although the article was
submitted, it was rejected by the moderator and not published to the list. The questions
I
ask are, in my view, quite important, given the fact that discussion was at that point
seemingly dominated by a confrontive and somewhat evasive individual who made
strong assertions, apparently based on his (generalized and mostly undisclosed)
experience. What evidence he did provide for his opinions in the form of
citations, turned out often to be only peripherally related to his claims, or
even opposing them. Nonetheless, where there is smoke, there is often
fire, and maybe he does have something. What it is, though, is hard to tell
without some clue as to where he lives, what he does, and on what scale he
operates. Thus the questions.
I accept reasonable moderation, and expect it,
but this seems out of line to me, especially inasmuch as I offered to re-write
the message removing anything offensive to the moderator.
Tell me if you think I should have been
censored -- or not.

"We know some of
the list members quite well, and their credentials. Some we
have spent quite a bit of time with, and others we have never met.
Some
have been keeping bees for decades, some have thousands of hives,
some have
PhDs, and some work in extension or research. Some are hobbyists,
some are
newbies, and some are wannabees. Some are conventional; some are,
well,
odd.
"Knowing a person helps understand his/her point of view and
beekeeping
experience, and helps when trying to visualise his/her perspective.
Some
time back, I asked Joe about his locale, and the surrounding
ecosystems,
thinking that maybe he has an unique location that explains what he
reports.
"I also asked how many hives he keeps, over what area, and for how
long. I
also asked how many swarms he catches each year. I thought that
would help
explain where he is coming from, and be of interest to all,
especially as he
is such a frequent contributor. So far, no answer.

forgetting
where you heard it.
