Has anyone ever had a confontation with another beekeeper, especially sideline/comm ?

I was not including the 1-5 hive beekeepers in my statement but I'm guessing there are probably a lot more of those these days then there were in the past (**** disposable income), can't help you on the AFB.

And, because of our increasing population less available land to put apiaries on.

Really, People are moving back to the Cities. Jobs are gone in the rural areas.

back to what beegost was asking for / 20 years ago or so a commercial guy found another commercial guy dropped a load exactly on the firsts location right down to the water barrel he took his cat over there dug a hole an buried every last box needless to say it can get rough out there messing with the wrong guys.
