Sound like good practical beekeepers to me.
Isn't the irony that it seems it is often the other way around, with beginners buying in pure breeds?

I didn't really understand how the experienced beekeeper would use pure breeds, given they say you won't be able to maintain them (unless they expect those beekeepers to keep buying in)?

I found it a good practical book, which was precisely what I liked about it.
