Thanks, Now I know something I didn't before hand. When I get bored waiting for something to do I look up these things but think ill keep it Simple (Kiss) for my queen rearing attempts, Iam ready to go all figured out (yea right) just hope the bees have been reading the same books as me. With todays prices in euros of €250 for a nuc and €40 for an AMM queen I reckon I would have to produce 160 nucs or 1000 queens before I would have to register for Tax. Jee I forgot to figure in the honey turnover, sure I am in clover already except my bees probably will not have access to it. Was it not Darwin who said it was thanks to Old maids and their cats that your empire thrived, Now that cat is out of the bag It will be interesting to see what happens.
It is well known that old maids keep cats.
Red clover requires humble bees as pollinators,
and it is well known that clover hay is fed to
the horses of the British cavalry. From all of this,
"it logically follows" that the continuation of the
British Empire is dependent upon England's always
having a bountiful supply of old maids. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/art...00143-0066.pdf
That story or something along those lines appeared in this months NIHBS magazine thought it funny.
