Wish Kamon would have given a more complete answer to your question about the Apimaye hives. It seems to me you were asking for him to give some updates about the experiments he said he was going to run with those hives. Because one can’t really say anything about the overall benefit of keeping in those without performing controlled experiments. (I thought that is what the goal was; maybe I’m misremembering.)
@FrederickDunn

Kamon is a very good educator much like yourself, and i love watching his videos and will continue to do so. I wish he would not have put a new conference the same as Hive Life in attempts to ruin it. If he really did temporarily bartow money from the Hive Life account for personal use, that may have been a lapse of judgment. If he didnt do it, that will come out to. If he did he around take ownership. If the conference was able to bank more than 50K, donations from viewers were not really appropriate. Wonder about cost to attend the new conference, it it will also be a non profit, and if donations will be collected. There is no doubt he has done alot for beekeeper 😢
@FrederickDunn
Жыл бұрын
Kamon has been instrumental in collecting us all together for fellowship and learning/sharing about beekeeping. He brought me in for my first conference experience and I'm in his debt for that. Regarding his personal life or business dealings, I consider that to be none of my business and I don't feel that he needs to explaing himself... at least not to me. The title of a conference isn't as important to me as who the people are who are presenting it and who will be present. Since people like me have to plan our schedules a year out, if he changed the dates I wouldn't be able to attend so that works for me. They will have to work out their differences through legal channels as any business/corp/LLC/non-profit would have to do. I'm not in a position to comment on that as if it were happening to me, I'd appreciate not having it played out through personal opinions. I'd just let them work it out. If Kamon Reynolds asks me to come to a Conference, or Give a Presentation, I'll happily be there. :) two years ago I asked him if the convention attendies would even want me there? He followed up with "I want you there, and that's what counts". I'm in his debt.

If it's not, he should explain himself in my opinion.
