Peter, you spend years trying to get good locations - where there is access
year around (you don't bog down every time it rains), where the landowner
(and his wife - I've lost potentially good locations where the wife had a
fit!) is cooperative and reasonable, where there is no vandalism risk, etc.
Good locations are a treasure to a beekeeper.
You seem to think we can move bees around at random, and we have infinite
access to good locations.
I never moved bees without payment for the move, whether it was for a
pollination contract or a pretty certain honey crop. The profit margin is
too thin to go about moving bees every time you think they "might" get
poisoned.
Peter, you need more field experience!
Dave
