However, a number of studies on
various crops often suggest that the yield of tested crops indeed improves
(generally in the range of 5-10%) when bees are  brought into crops not
normally given paid pollination.  


FULLY 100% agree with that.  But that increase in yields would lower the
values of the same crop (supply and demand) therby lowering the pollination
fees and value.  So while we could increase yields,  in many crops  huge
amounts already go unharvested,  so whats the point?



Thanks for the great presentation this weekend Randy,  still digesting a
full meal of information
