[QUOTE="Maggie, post: 11753, member: 71"] Not all the gear of 250,000 hives will be sitting in apiaries abandoned. Some commercial beekeepers won't be making up the winter dead outs, because there's really no use in producing a product that you can't sell. Therefore there is gear being stored by commercial beekeepers in the hope that if the price increases so will their hive numbers. Although I am aware that in some parts of the country there are unregistered hives/sites, that will have AFB. I am also aware in some parts of the country AFB is minimal. The 250,000 less hives will also mean that the MA is taking substantially less in colony levies. [/QUOTE]
