Tim:
A major cost item that I don't see on your list, is labor.
My understanding is that "organic" is expensive because is
more labor-intensive than standard commercial practice. Is
your labor free?
Reply:
I am not seeing why you consider it more labor intensive?
Can you explain why you think this? After all, the labor
saved by not treating, and backtracking to deadouts, and
constant feeding and nowadays replacing contaminated combs
in rotation out, must off set something, or am I wrong?
Also I run about 900 hives by myself and that therefore
must be very labor intensive for me to handle being a
woman, so please explain what is labor intensive?
Dee-
