Message: <blockquote data-quote="2beefarm" data-source="post: 14038" data-attributes="member: 946">tristan — 'beeks can't supply what they don't have' is the sentence that matters. On the AU side the almond pollination season already runs on interstate hive movements, and border closures nearly broke it in recent years; the constraint is hives and the people keeping them, not contracts. USA losses flowing through to almond pollination is the warning shot. If NZ demand for hives is growing while beekeeper numbers decline, the gap only widens.On the contract shape — understood, nothing formalised on the kiwifruit side yet. Still useful: it says the money follows direct pollination dependence, not goodwill.</blockquote>
