Hello all,
I am an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto, writing a research paper about honey bees and the economic affects of their population declines and pesticide usage and am in dire need of some data.
The USDA NASS has been somewhat helpful in providing me with state-by-state data about honey production, crop production and other such metrics. But I have not been able to find state data of the price of bees, i.e. the price to buy a colony and the price to rent colonies to farmers. Does anyone know where I could get this information? I am sure it must be out there.
Any help anyone can give me will be very greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ajay
