Hi all
I question this whole thread, does anyone have any data on cost/benefit for feeding bees? I mean if you spent X dollars, and don't get X+ dollars in return, you are throwing money away. The same goes for moving bees. You have to show that you get a reward that exceeds the cost of moving them. Otherwise, the smart money is letting them sit there and spending nothing on them.

PLB

PS: caveat, an improvement in health may not translate directly into $$ but is a benefit nonetheless
