I will be making a report shortly to northern US, Canadian and European
fruit growers on the readiness of the pollination service industry this year,
and would appreciate reports from pollinators.  How are your bees?  Winter
losses? Is your season running early, late or normal?  Do you anticipate the
supply in your area to be adequate or short?  Are prices stable or rising?
Are you seasonally migrating or do you stay within your region?

    There have been a number of new additions to the pollinator list in the
past few weeks. If you are not listed, the basic listing is free. Site
statistics show that growers are checking these lists....

   Paid ads will soon be available as well, so that you can tell the unique
features of your service; contact me if you are interested. It will be much
cheaper than most other forms of advertisements. (It isn't to make a profit,
it's to cover some of the costs of the page.)

    I am especially pleased to see a growing number of listings from the
southern hemisphere. I will be making an effort later this year, in
anticipation of your spring, to get the list before growers in your area.

    Please remember to change the address for personal responses, so they
aren't sent to the entire Bee List
