pollination is seldom paid pollination. Rather they are grown on
country that is favourable for spring build up, so beekeepers have used
it for a hundred years.
Also one brood box is the norm in Aust. Bees would mostly go on as one
super hives and seven or eight frames of brood. Come off ready to
swarm. I might add that the macas have not changed things as far as
bees are concerned.
