Generally if one site in an area is doing well then the rest will be similar but boy are they up and down this year.It's interesting how the corporate's continually move into new areas after deciding that this area or that area is obviously no good despite local beekeepers having made a living from for decades until they came along and pushed them out.They have always grossly underestimated the importance of local knowledge on stocking rates , timing et cetera and grossly overestimated potential production based on nothing or one good year. When you couple this with an extraordinarily high rate of PPB it's just as well they have their hands deep in somebody else's pockets.</blockquote>
