We had a talk about that exact topic after we stopped recording the show. Up till now we haven't looked at the money aspect very much and I think we'll talk about how much it costs to get started, and then on going costs. Some of it isn't monetary, for example when switching rabbits you lose production and have to buy more feed for a year. -Andrew Hep Pirate!

I know from listening you switched breeds of rabbits and was there a cost. Any way you could talk about what it took to get started in rabbit husbandry and the ongoing cost?

I was listening to American Public Radio, there was a program on CCD. http://thestory.org/archive The program was the Monday April 30th episode of The Story In your last program Misty mentioned that the Queen Bee's wings change after her mating flight. If she can not fly after that. How can she leave in a CCD? In that same program their expert said that when you smoke the bees The bees think there is a forest fire and starts to eat the honey so they can pack up and leave. Again if there where a forest fire and the bees leave what happens to the queen if she can not fly? Inquiring minds want to know. : 0) Paula I have a Bee question for you Q & A program.
