Mark, Bob and others:
Okay, get out you calculator now: Say alternative to
langstroth hives gained acceptance in USA. How many would
be needed to pollenate the Almonds? How much longer if any
would it take to get them to orchards for pollenation?
Would transportation costs vary much from what it now costs
to transport langs? Would insurance differences cost more
for transporting due to comb handling differences and more
possible replacement needs for queens? Is transport for
pollenation services even a reality to be considered?
