[QUOTE="NickWallingford, post: 5704, member: 44"] And let's put this into context... Figures for the late 1920s and early 1930s are hard to come by, but as near as I can tell, there would have been about 100,000 hives in the country in 1928. Maybe not 10 times as many hives now, but not very far off. A point I wanted to make was that the call for restrictions on the number of hives, the fear that other hives in the district will take away the possibility of producing a good crop, has been with the industry from the beginning. At *some* point, over-crowding will cause problems, but it seems that beekeepers have felt that we were at that point throughout the industry's history. [/QUOTE]
