I read somewhere that the closing of the US/Can border - (Alberta in this case), to migratory beekeepers, for fear of AHB, was leaving vast tracts of bee pasture unattended... 'Kinda up's the stock for some?
Has the Alberta border ever been open to migratories ? Bees on comb has been a no-no for a very long time, since long before AHB.I read somewhere that the closing of the US/Can border - (Alberta in this case), to migratory beekeepers, for fear of AHB
Couple years back, I went to a poorly advertised Beekeeper bankruptcy auction in Arkansas... I bought a bunch of random stuff, including a silverqueen uncapper for ~250 bucks.Wow, the May sale in Scandia, AB couldn't even attract a half dozen buyers.
