[QUOTE="tristan, post: 13101, member: 30"] rarely get dead hives. but swarming for us is a big issue. but also depending on orchard type hives can get knocked back a bit, lack of food or covered kiwi fruit, spray damage, etc. a lot of hives in one area is not a good thing. hard to say. probably got their supply chain well sorted, and probably a lot of money behind them to weather the storm. unfortunately i hear of stories of buyers who stopped paying for the honey they bought. companies sold out and reneging on contracts. its a bit of a mess. a lot of small guys are in a tough position because many buyers don't want the hassle of dealing with them. i think the really big problem is many people overpaid for sites, run way to much staff, run very inefficient business that was making ok profit when they should have been making huge amounts, and putting that back into the business to get them setup for when the prices dropped.
