A couple of my friends in Florida have at least 60 hives between the 2 of them. They rent them out to the orchards and farmers to pollinate crops. make money on the hives and the honey.

Put the jars in a pot of water and heat to 180 F and it will fix your crystallization problem.

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.

How much is initial start up? I have been interested in doing this for quite a while but have no idea how much it will cost, or where to even get a hive from
