"Planning is the replacement of chance with error."
Samuel Goldwyn, founder of MGM, 1882 - 1974

An interesting point of view that makes you think. It is probably based on the realization that planning is not suitable for predicting the future. How useful is it to plan when we know that reality usually does not stick to our plans? The quote from Samuel Goldwyn suggests, at least superficially, that it is possible to leave the course of events to chance, because that is better than planning and being fairly certain to be wrong.

Why these thoughts?

The garden beekeeper's goal for 2015 is not to increase the number of bee colonies but to keep their number constant. This requires appropriate measures to control the natural reproduction instinct of the bees, which in turn requires appropriate planning. Otherwise, growth will be predictable: in terms of bee density in the garden, the cost of materials, and the level of stress on who will be the main user of the garden. For this reason there is no way around a well-considered approach.

Or will it be like a colleague writes in the beekeeper forum:

"You make a plan. The bees destroy it. That's why your garage will very soon be full of stuff. Towards summer it diffuses into cellar rooms, then the food 'only temporarily' is in the hall. When the neighbour calls because the swarm in the parasol makes him nervous, you are missing a base, frames and wax foundations. Once catched the swarm, the hive will annoy you all summer long when mowing the lawn. After the first honey extraction, the whole house sticks. Residual wax on the floor. Stung by a bee when cleaning up. Invest your efforts in your 'government', you'll need a lot of goodwill!"
