Would be cool to get back into it <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" /> , one day maybe!But seriously, you only need one person to think he/she can do it and take on your hives. Might not happen this month or this year, but eventually you'll find one. Without knowing all the details it seems a pretty good opportunity for someone to get into beekeeping, as you offer different styles of taking over. I would not give beekeeping in NZ the death nail yet, there's different situations for everyone and also I would and did advise my sons to learn a 'proper' job first, I would not be against them going into bees after that. Hard work and little money, that's true, but there's other rewards. I enjoy being self employed, getting outdoors and doing some physical workout. I do enjoy the work with the bees and also having a farming community around me which is pretty supportive and oh man, I do love the off season!!!! Which brings me back  to that motorbike ride.....<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite18" alt=":ROFLMAO:" title="ROFL    :ROFLMAO:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":ROFLMAO:" /></blockquote>
