Which severe winter was this for?
To be spent on imported Italian bees only.
200k even nicer if you can get it
Last winter was the most benign in many years. Noone I know had significant losses.Quote:

I would have thought that anyone who lost £20k's worth of stocks last winter ought to be seriously considering his career choice. It must have been for some other time, surely???
Maybe the compensation for the 2012-2013 winter - which was very bad, was spread over 2 years.
The beefarmers seemed to suffer far higher percentage losses than most other beekeepers though.
I lost almost all the nucs I was overwintering in 2012/2013 and had to take it on the chin.
