I understand your feeling. Many professional apiaries with good equipment are ready for sale now. Mafia dropped the prices from 1,5 USD/kg to 1 USD/kg - the level when any development is impossible. People leave this country and many don't want to return. I also don't see the good future here.
If they poison my bees in the summer again I will have to give up. Even the low price of honey doesn't hurt me so much as the piles of dead bees.
What is this method?
The method - going into forage without queen basically ( it simulate colony which swarmed), there are many variations and adaptations. To not forget strength for next forage will drop some. For me only honey which have some market value is black locust, so I can go this way.
