What a strange man.
I've only had bees for 3 years and have had a honey crop every year.
I have lost swarms as everyone does but still had a crop each year and left some for them.
I see he is gone now, very strange person.

Thanks @Admin or @Hivemaker. It is a DAM shame we cannot ban some people from keeping bees in the real world.

If you take no honey your hive is in trouble

Gad I'm still steamed over this. I verge on "natural beekeeping" and definitely as "organic" as I can get but not as a religion. For example big mites = thymol, or OA (not pyrethroids).

If you are not taking a crop in a good year or even an average year, your bees are suffering for your righteousness. It is not that you are choosing not to take it: they are unable to make it and that is a symptom that they are under stress or you are allowing them to swarm at will. In either case you should turn them loose. There is nothing worthy in what you do: the opposite; creatures are suffering for your righteousness.

There IS a ground between watching them suffer and replacing their winter feed with sugar, should you see that as exploitative (I tend not to do it). And it makes a crop.

Finski as you know I love you like a brother; I have no problem with your methods the way some others do. I am saying I tend not to do it. Various reasons but "religion" is not one of them. But it's an easy target for the "natural" crowd.

Isn't it strange TTLTB, he's so intent on pouring scorn on you for your comment that, in his blinkered ramblings he's totally failed to see that in essence you are both singing from the same hymnsheet!!
