Yes, Michael Bush is the man who swayed me as well. Been on Beesource? Or did you run across him on Beemaster? Either way, sounds like you and I are of the same mind w/r to beekeeping. By now, my bees are primarily the descendants of local feral colonies and swarms from swarm captures but more importantly removals I've done here in my area. My hope is my bees have naturally evolved the genetics to tolerate the many diseases, pests and other pressures that plague honeybees here in North America. By the way, I ended up here as a result of a Pink Pages reprint I found via a Google search. FYI I've put my indexed copies of George Imirie's Pink Pages back online - If you're interested, you can find them at pinkpages.chrisbacherconsulting.com.
