Every time I visit him I'm so tempted to get a hive or two for my tiny garden.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13845113520987402425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-15812306706572862512015-05-20T15:29:08.289-04:002015-05-20T15:29:08.289-04:00Kev - Eventually when I reach some limit of the hi...Kev - Eventually when I reach some limit of the hives where I think they are too much for me to handle I plan on selling the excess off each year I just haven't quite reached that point yet. I am guessing somewhere between 20 and 30 hives will be my breaking point. If and when I do sell hives though they will be full hives ready to go so my own manufactured stuff will go with em I imagine.<brPioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-31178062912224987452015-05-20T15:26:56.331-04:002015-05-20T15:26:56.331-04:00Kymber - Sorry about the plant death.

I just got to caught up in the fence project this year and got behind on the bee hive production. <br /><br />The Mrs. has a plan so she has to freeze some of the berries for something. That requires getting to them fast.<br />PioneerPreppyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269878017447335944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8788289492661192400.post-78357526704030463712015-05-20T15:21:50.756-04:002015-05-20T15:21:50.756-04:00Sf - Of course!!!
