10,000 tonne predicted increase in 3 years.

10,000 tonnes = 10,000,000 kg

Chris Slade mentioned a harvest average of 18 kg.

To round it off, average harvest = 20 kg / per colony.

10,000,000kg / 20kg = 500,000 colonies

Divided by 3 seasons = 166,666 colony increase / annum.

That is some increase - esp. if the infra structure for dealing with
material is either non existent or rudimentary.

I suppose that I would be able to expand at a fair rate, trouble is that
Stainless material, honey house bits and regulations are so costly.

Should have moved to India instead of Canada!
Esp. if the finance is there.

Regards,
Peter
