I have been receiving more calls this year than I have any past years, my good usable equipment is all full and I am having to pick through stuff that should be thrown away in order to answer more calls. If they are more than a few miles from my house I have resorted to referring them to other local beekeepers. I just can't keep up with the equipment demands and 3-6 calls daily. I will have to assemble some new hives soon for next season and hope it is as good.
