I heard from Martin today.  He reports, in part:

"Indeed the bee season in Argentina is a very complicated one. Drought 
conditions are severe in our region with plenty of unusual robbing at this 
time of the year. Anyway, we are stocking our mating nucs the best we can.

and

"The local honey market has come to a complete stop. Nobody buys honey nor a 
price is informed. Beekeepers are concerned. The northwestern honey crop was 
a failure. While the northeastern Mesopotamia citrus crop was better than 
expected. Overall the prospects are not encouraging given the extremely dry 
conditions.

Things are getting tough everywhere, it seem that Argentina has the worst 
luck with their politicians.

Let's hope for the best for our fellow beekeepers.
