Hi all,
Just watched the Gwenyn Grufydd video interview with David Wainwright about his fairly hands off approach.
I appreciate there will be very mixed views on this and some will be very anti it (each to their own etc).
Has anyone got much experience of keeping bees like this? Has it worked well?
Not necessarily going to do it myself, but interested to hear from people operating at a much smaller scale that have tried this sort of approach.
(I very much still advocate for treating for varroa and intermittent disease inspections). My bees are in places where the odd swarm wouldn’t cause others inconvenience.
Thanks
