"Apitourism – tourists that visit other bee yards – has a good future, especially as more novices join the ranks and the beekeeping conferences continue to draw crowds. American beekeepers have always been travelers, and this aspect of the industry acknowledges the insatiable curiosity beekeepers have when visiting other colonies."
Tammy Horn – “Bees in America”
