What is the going price per hive on almonds this year look like

Why do you ask, are you sending hives to CA?

I ask, because if your no in the business of pollinating in CA, what does it matter.

Happy New Year to ALL.

The pollinators will be in either Phoenix, AZ @ the AHPA meeting or Las Vegas, NV for the ABF meetings in Jan, 2012 to find the answers because this is our business.

At this point in time there are plenty of bees available. In general there is a slight downward pressure on prices. I am hearing the number 140 repeatedly.

Many of which come from the East Coast. Not mine though.

Well Larry I am not pollinating in Ca. but I am looking at what i want to do next year. Thanks Tom for the reply

Tom , my word on the street is shortage, bees good quality, to many new trees, as stated at Almond board meeting, somewhere 50 to 80k new a acers on line this year. I have multiple growers that are increasing hive #,s by 25% or more just because they turned a new leaf.

GA.Beeman, I would suggest a good look at the total picture before you jump in, not all is what it seems.

A happy to new year to all, God will bless us all.
