It goes without saying that plenty of people now use the Internet as a resource, and very often as an alternative to buying a book.
I think that it's called progress nowadays!![]()
There is a HUGE caveat to this...the non peer reviewed copy-and-paste brigade, spreading questionable information (on lots of subjects, not just beekeeping). Academically, students are taught not to reference Wikipedia..although the reference lists can be useful, but relatively speaking there's a lot fewer copied inaccuracies on there than on quite a few websites/blogs etc.
And I agree, searches on forums rarely seem to work that well. Well constructed FAQs are brilliant, covering....help my hive is about to swarm, how do I/should I mark my queen, winter preparation, varroa stuff, no eggs what do I do etc...........but then it would be awfully quiet, wouldn't it
