It sounds like you have good reason- for your costs and work to feel this 
way.

Actually some of us have. I will only pollinate organic orchards and then 
only with a signed agreement on spraying while my bees are there. I have 
also raised prices on pollination since I've found the honey produced by 
non-pollinating hives is larger than the pollination hives. I lost several 
hives in one orchard and the remaining hives never recovered and died in the 
winter.
