"No it does not! for gasoline prices have more then doubled since honey was $1.50 even a few years back, but honey has not. On top of that container prices are going up, and labor costs are going up for working our bees and equipment."
Gas prices were going to double anyhow, regardless of what happened to the bees. Right? Then high honey prices AND CCD reducing the number of hives that you have make you only that much more profitable than you would be with high gas prices, low honey prices, and twice as many colonies to work. Your argument defeats you.
