Anecdotal as it is, my pollination prices have risen over the last few years. When I first went into blueberries in NC I asked for and received a higher than traditional price, by $10.00. This was my third year and I got a $5.00 raise. On apples in NY I have raised my prices w/ 4 growers during the last 4 years including this year. Over the last 20 years pollinating I have seen the apple pollination price go from $28.00 up to $75.00 this year.

If beekeeper want higher pollination income they have to ask for it. Just like marketing anything else.
