I was chatting with a fellow after Church today and was informed that people
around here recognize the need for pollination, but refuse to pay for it. At
least the beekeepers he knew of were doing it for "free" claiming the honey
produced as the payment.  Now I understand one can get reasonable amount of
honey off of cotton--though I have heard mixed results concerning the flavor.
However many other veggies that need pollinators give lousy returns on honey.

How do you go about getting paid for you services in pollination?   How do
you convince others not to give away the store and to band together and
demand reasonable payment?  I would greatly be appreciative of any
information anyone has on this whole subject.

Thanks
