Hi Ian
I operate close to 3000 hives in the south of Chile (-39º) with APIZUR S.A.
and around 1200 in the north (-32º) with Apicola Corazón Ltda., well I am in
the process of getting out of the northern company to concentrate my
energies in the southern one. The total proyect in the south is for around
4000 colonies in the next 4 years to pollinate the blueberries of
www.sanjosefarms.com.
I know we are exporting queens to your country. There are basically three
paralel efforts. One from Agrovivo, one from Francisco Rey and one from the
Chilean Cooperative of Queenbee Breeders (www.queenbee.cl).
Apizur S.A. is/was part of this Coop.
Ya to the idea but I didn`t know there was "a program".
Maybe we should follow this off list.
