>The need for large operations to supply the queens, nucs and package bees will as always be needed by hobby beekeepers.

Why would hobby beekeepers need those?

Packages are virtually unheard of in the UK and nucs are usually supplied locally.  I know of no hobby beekeepers who buy queens, although some commercial beekeepers do so; we raise them ourselves.

Is it not the commercial beekeepers in the US that buy most of the packages and queens?

Best wishes
