My family has around 20 hives. We use to do around 50 to 60 hives. A few years back we had a problem with moth larvae. If you reuse supers make sure you freeze them for a couple of days to kill any larvae that might be in the frames from storage. We keep 12 hives in a satsuma orchard. It has to be the best honey I have ever eaten. Fletcher's Feed Store sells local honey. If you plan on getting into bee keeping there is a local club in SWLA that is good to join. They will go out of their way to help you in any way.
