I am an amateur beekeeper from PEI Canada, presently suffering
through a winter storm with -10 C temp. The last time I checked
my overwintering hives a number of bees came out to greet me.
We here on PEI are still variola and trachea mite free,
however we pay a high cost. The price list for ordering New
Zealand bees just arrived and orders have to be placed by March
19, even though it will be much later before I know if my present
hives survive the winter.
Membership fee $15.00
2 lb. package (1 queen) 92.00
4 lb. package (2 queens) 144.00
Extra queens 15.00
Compare these prices to a recent publication from our rich
neighbours in Iowa and it will be obvious that I am not in this
for the financial return.
It is also obvious that the powers that be here are convinced
that New Zeland bees are disease free and that these cheaper Iowa
ones are not.
