Don't know about you guys, but I watch the for sale section of this forum like a hawk. I have had excellent luck in the past (got 4 of my favorites from it so far) but I have to say...
Shouldn't someone be governing what is for sale, and what people claim it to be? I feel like we have a responsabilty to our new bees to keep a watchfull eye. When someone says they are selling a "black back" for way too much..... then I see the pic, and it has a stripe going up the spine of the lower 1/3rd of the body... Why is the thread allowed to stay?
Because of the for sale rules, nobody can reply and explain that the CONSTANT PATTERN running along the spine means it is NOT a black back..... so it just sits.... and the clueless new bees pay way too much before they learn.
Obviousely in this case it is the new bees fault for not doing more research... But I consider this site to be on a higher level compared to other sites. Shouldn't we be above allowing this to happen?
Don't know what I am talking about? Check out the for sale section of this forum right now.
Please share your thoughts.
