First of all I don't want to and won't speculate that my package dealer has any CCD related problems - I've not heard anything to that effect yet. However, I'm waiting on some packages from a dealer that sounds like they may have fallen behind other dealers in their area.
I just wanted to pose the question - are any of you aware of package dealers that have experienced CCD-related losses, and do you know of any dealers whose delivery schedules have been significantly delayed becuase of their losses? The dealer I'm waiting on is a little more than a month behind, but becuase of "Nature-related" problems.
I realize the reluctance of many to admit CCD problems - this could be bad for business. I guess I'm not looking for specific names, I was just curious to see if others are thinking that this could be a problem, and whether it has impacted our delivery dates. I know my bee supplier supplies other bee dealers, so I wonder if maybe they're just servicing these resellers and falling behind on their individual customers. We've all known that CCD could affect us even if our bees didn't have it, I'm just wondering if this is another case.
