about two years ago i did as ever a massive rant/ soap box talk/prediction of doom .
the general idea was this that since 2006/7 there has been a massive boom in the bee keeping hobbie with famous people etc keeping bee's and just a general balloning of the industry, i have noticed that for the last few years the sale of nucs is normaly more brisk or rather sold out.
i have noticed that people are still advertising nucs for sale.
now evan with the standard clauses of " everyone jumping on the bee breeding band wagon", " bees are all in danger,etc etc", and what else there might be i have seen this year a drop in intrest in bees where i live and also an increase in adverts for bees for sale.
is the ballon reaching its maxium point and do we think next year it might pop???
