How do you not love George Imrie and his Pink Pages? You have heard of the Pink Pages haven't you? Some of the best conventional beekeeping advice in the known world of conventional beekeeping is there. Check out George Imrie's Pink Pages for yourself.
Yes, for those of you who read my blog or who may actually even know me in person, I am not a conventional beekeeper. I have nothing against conventional beekeepers. Hey, whatever floats your boat I say.
I know a lot of conventional beekeepers who love to tell me that my method and approach to beekeeping is "wrong" or even "bad". Then again, I know a lot of non-conventional beekeepers who will do the same to conventional beekeepers. Being judgmental knows no bounds and is limited to no single group.
Having just said that, I have the Pink Pages bookmarked and I read through them every so often to keep the information fresh in my head. There is some fantastic knowledge stored there that a beekeeper would have to be crazy or just plain stupid to ignore.
George Imrie was a very scientific beekeeper. He was an E.A.S. Master Beekeeper and that is saying something because the E.A.S. has some of the most extensive requirements for said certification that I have seen.
Reading his pages, you'll want to keep in mind that George was a very opinionated fella and he wrote confidently about his topic. He says what he says and is unapologetic about it. I personally find it refreshing, even when he might be saying something I disagree with.
