[gcdible1]

Yep. And despite letting them put their hives on your scrub for free while they make $10,000 from the honey they still think you're ripping them off if you dare ask for a small amount of honey

exactly mate, there a tight arsed bunch! we have a few acres way up the back paddock the local bee keeper uses, he has 300-400 hives up there at times, usually for about 8 months of the year with a rotation while he travels the country side throwing bee hives all over the state on other farmers land following the pollen ....all we get is a bloody box full, maybe 30l max, seems they think everyone should bend over backwards for them, they make a fortune using farmers land, yet they live in town in there little rich town house reaping the benifits, and they call them selves farmers. lol


edit: should i say, he also mentions that we 'stump Jumpers' (that's what he calls us logging boys) take too many mature trees out and we take money away from his livelihood. lol ...... reality is without us farmers/loggers, wanker town dwelling bee farmers wouldn't have any land for there crap bees

Agreed mate. They love our Mallee scrub as it produces nice honey. I haven't got the heart to tell these knobs that Australia's native trees were pollinated fine for millions of years before the European Honey Bee arrived. Before the almond/canola crops etc cranked up bee keepers were running around looking like Ned Kelly with the arse hanging out their pants. Now they are making more money than you and I put together yet still think they're getting shafted. The problem with the almond industry is that the bee keepers arrived when growers were getting USD$10.50/kg for kernel. Both industries benefited. Now the bastards are continuing to increase the cost of hives even while the almond industry has dropped to USD$4.50/kg and are basically just covering costs.
