I will add a vote for Dadant keeping its retail catalog.
An awful lot of beekeepers (myself included) started off with a mail order
kit, and in my case it was from Dadant. I still do a fair amount of mail
order buying.
Not every Yellow Pages lists a beekeeping supply house, and in my case, the
nearest retail dealer is a good hour's drive away. I'm sure many other
beekeepers have longer drives. Moreover, a dealer can't have everything.
that can be listed in a catalog. Every firm has its own unique items. How
are us retail customers supposed to find out about them without catalogs?
Yeah, a catalog lets everone else know your prices. That hasn't stopped the
rest of the catalog merchants from being successful.
Stick with your catalog.
