I'm kicking around the idea of adding a small bee farm to the homestead. I would like to ocassionally harvest some honey, but mainly for positive fruit tree/ garden pollination.
I was wondering if any of you guys are bee keepers and if you can give me any tips. How expensive to get started, how many bees for under 10 acres of pollination, and how much time is needed to keep it running good. Does the hive constantly grow or do they maintain a certain size? If anyone has any experience with it I'd like to hear your opinions.
