> Without almond pollination there would not be less migratory beekeeping, probably more. Some beekeepers move 5 or 6 times a year chasing honey flows.

But is there not a difference between the two?  With almonds vast numbers of hives are moved into one relatively small area, but other pollination work must have smaller groups of colonies in much more widespread locations?
