Do you think the European bee culture is different? Got some bees as a hobby, I only sell like 20 glasses of honey a year.
Very few keep them as a main source of income.
In the USA there are companies that rent their bees to farmers, mostly for fruits.
Afterwards the honey is thrown away, because of the chems on the fields.
This feels strange to me.
In Europe it is probably to late for the bees. Varoa kills what is left, especially because winter breaks are very short because of global warming. European bees can't remove varoa themselves, meaning we have to intervene, which is expensive and hard to do.
