>>i believe gas prices in canada are almost double that of the u.s....and also higher in austrailia (i think...didn't do research on this). We had a successful Australian commercial beekeeper speak at our Long Island bee club a couple of years ago. He practices several migratory moves a year chasing the flow from one plant species to another. His bees would not make surplus honey if they were kept in just one location. Waldemar PS. It was a challenge understanding the beekeeper - he called bees what sounded like 'baaays,' for instance. :)) One catches on after a while but it did make me wonder if this was a particular Australian dialect or if all Australians speak the same way... ****************************************************** * Full guidelines for BEE-L posting are at: * * http://www.honeybeeworld.com/bee-l/guidelines.htm * ******************************************************
