I will visit the sites you posted but heading out the door. . However, *my* almond growers pay only for live > colonies, and pay extra for stronger ones. Why do you let almond growers dictate the almond fee (we have had this conversation before). What kind of business absorbs and does not pass costs on to the consumer? If remebee increases honey production four times ( as advertised) than it only seems right the Remebee feed bees should be worth more money? Am I the only person which thinks an increase of four times in honey production ( has to increase pollination also in order to get the honey increase) is quite a claim. Also *if* remebee or remebee pro is not intended *by the maker* for use on *healthy * bees then why the increase in honey production claims? So I guess that they are paying extra for those who invest what they > can to supply strong colonies. Or is there something that I am not > understanding? Sugar is at .55 a pound.(up) Fuel costs are high.(up ) Remebee costs might be a new cost. My point is if U.S. pollination is WORTH $212 billion a year then commercial beekeepers are getting ripped off. Not rocket science. Some outfits are running in the red but afraid to increase pollination pricing. Especially on crops other than almonds. bob *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
