Randy, I think most out-of-staters think Calif is wide open. Up your way I
can think of 8-12 keepers that all run over 10,000 hives a piece, all within
a 50 mile stretch (that's 100,000 hives plus ). We won't mention the 2 to 5
thousand hive guy's here.

I think we should put a sur-charge on all bees coming into the state, in
other words, at the border two dollars a hive, or go back where you came
from.
Randy, I find most that write about Calif beekeeping that don't live here,
still don't get it. I think they should write about their experiences in
their own state and leave writing about almonds and Calif beekeeping to us
that run our outfits here 24-7.
