"PS. I was jerking riverbee and perry's chain on plastic foundation , guess they must agree? haven't heard a thing from them. "ok jack, i give, i can't stand it.......you want me to kick your butt on this now or later or any other day cuz i have time for both or all three......
as far as some of the last few comments made here relative to bad advice.......
what scott said earlier,
"There is likely hundreds of years in combined experience at your fingertips right here." right on scott. maybe the forum is only months old, that really doesn't matter......the adminstrators, moderators and members are not months old in beekeeping......
some are, some aren't, but even those who are new to beekeeping have a great deal to offer all of us as well, new or old. really doesn't matter.
and what dennis said:
"I think good or bad advice is not so much a matter of correct or incorrect information as it is either incomplete information or information that does not, or may not, apply under the advisee's circumstances." very true dennis. unique to their situation and what may apply or doesn't.
i see beeks here so willing and generous to help others out and 'mentor' from a distance or connect with another beek here in close proximity.
i liked what greg said
"I don't see a right or wrong, only different opinions." opinions yes, i just see a forum set apart from others, with many minds, thought processes, backgrounds, knowledge and experience and although there are differences, and sometimes confusion, we all share something in common......BEES. that's what brings us together, and sharing our ways with one another and how each of us do it, and keeping an open mind. a great benefit to all.
the best advice is to listen to those who have gone before you and made the mistakes and offer their experience up. even though there are those of us who are hard heads and stubborn, doesn't matter.....got to try it for yourself anyway?.....then just come back and tell us so.....it's only fair......
