When my bees were sprayed with fungicide in the Great Bee Massacre of 2014 I estimated the losses as follows: Damaged brood (5 frames per hive at $20 per frame) = $100 Frames of contaminated almond honey and pollen (3 frames per hive at $20 per frame) = $60 Lost honey production from weakened hives immediately following pollination (20 lbs at $3.50 per lb) = $70 Total loss per hive = $230 Loss estimate does not cover my driving and beekeeping time nor personal health effects due to stress Jeremy Rose San Luis Obispo, CA *********************************************** The BEE-L mailing list is powered by L-Soft's renowned LISTSERV(R) list management software.
