>I suggested that some of them go into nuc production full time, and 
fore go honey production, in order to produce nucs for sale to Alberta

Given the crying I hear most springs from one corner or another over 
there, I'm not sure their wintering average is really any different than 
ours  (It is absolutely amazing the number of ways beekeepers 
individually or regionally can calculate losses or production - 
discussion for another day).  Seems to be a huge demand for bees most 
years there too, so doubt that we'd see many nucs reach here.
