Organic beekeeping is far less costly than standard commercial practices.
Less fuel costs, less medication costs, less lumber and wax replacement
costs, healtier bees that don't need to be replaced as often and therefore
build up faster since not new installations every year. I can't see the
reasoning that organic beekeeping is costlier. That's a false statement in
every sense of the word and and every sense of economic sensibility.
