Bit confused

[Gilberdyke John]

I wouldn't critisice how and what they do, won't make any friends, just watch and learn. the way you keep bees is your own preference and the chances are others will always do it differently. Good to ask here though if you are not sure, that way you get other ideas at the very least.

It's good to ask and sometimes unthinking procedures can be revised once the habit beekeeping is scrutinised.
