Typ rates for 8-frame colonies over the past few years has been in the
$170-$190 range. For better hives, over $200.
It looked as though there would be a shortage this season, then not. Hard
to tell. But lots of weak hives are being rented, which pisses off those
of us who put a lot of money into supplying strong hives.
