Did Brother Adam write about bee-keeping - pressed or un-pressed? ;-)

He wrote books about beekeeping. I never rated them as bee management
treatises althoug Beekeeping at Buckfast Abbey was interesting as part of
the story of the Abbey. What's more he was a very difficult author for his
publishers.

I think that I have seldom read a nastier post about someone to whom an
entire hobby and industry owed so much. "Old, withered old stick, accented
speech, hardly audible, set in his ways"
Mary, you define the word 'ego'. Let me just say that I have heard many bee
keepers speak with respect of Brother Adam. I've never heard one mention
you. Why, I wonder, would that be.

Well now, I've heard very a similar tale from quite another source, and
whom Mary is unlikely to know.
