Sugar and the new som
Sunday, April 20th, 2008 at 9:00 pm by Gulnaz (for Papa)Since the 17th of March the dollar costs 8.40 som, not 5, and everything from outside costs more. Papa feeds sugar syrup to the bees in spring when they are hungry, and the sugar costs 40% more. The new frames from the city also. He says: "A bee does not know the exchange rate, but I do."
He will raise the price to 26 som in the autumn. We will see if the people agree.
