The kiwifruit vs avocado split makes sense — the growers who feel the pollination value directly are the ones who put money in. The AU equivalent heavyweight is almonds; they've been moving hives interstate for years, so 'secure your own supply' is already the mindset of the bigger growers here. Where it gets interesting is the shape of that investment. When kiwifruit growers put money into bee health, is it showing up as direct per-hive contracts with conditions attached, or something looser like informal sponsorship of someone's operation? The contract shape matters more than the money for anyone trying to replicate it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
