Yeah the guy I got mine from runs to Florida in the winter to work the farms down there. Semi commercials and small business have about that many hives or more. The big commercial ops are never in one place they just drive around or ship them to different places for pollination. Smaller folks can get $ from honey etc but the big money is in pollination services. 3 is about all I can handle. I could have more but I have other things I love doing too in the summer so it's a balance. It's a super fun hobby and not as hard as you think. Way easier then reefing for sure, at least for me.
This is also how they get specialized honey.

The thing about honey is, it is one of the many natural foods that can help with seasonal allergies. You want your honey as local as possible. I know there are local honey farms here. I have social anxiety though :( making phone calls feels like the end of the world. I'm working on it!
its also the only food that will never go bad. be careful around kids tho its like peanuts i guess they aren't supposed to have it when they are really little. also look up Propolis its the glue the bees use. Plus you can use the wax, pollen and even the venom for health benefits.

It's actually a fungus/bacteria in the honey. Children under a year old can't digest it. After a year of age, their digestive system gets stronger. Honey is a wonderful thing. But, children need time to grow into eating food.

Not if you get raw local honey
This is why, I have difficulties. I'm a rather introverted. Talking to people is like walking on to a field with loaded mines. I never know which one is going to go off.

everything in store is also pasteurized.
We have a store here that sells their own local honey. I think Sprouts also carries that same brand of raw.

I am learning to become more of a people person. It mostly is because I really stopped caring what people thought of me and my "weirdness" and just said this is me and if you dont like it or whatever then its your loss. People suck most of the time but if you give them a chance every now and then you find a good one and its worth it.

I know that. The old saying goes "one bad apple, ruins a barrel." I hate that thought process. I don't like to view everyone as bitter water. There are amazing people.

BUSTED AGAIN wow. you can reference drugs sex and even some shady other crap but try and make a joke and you are shut down. I will be reporting everything now that even comes close to violating the "code"
Actually drug and sex references are violations of our TOS. Please definitely report anything you see that is in violation. We do our best to keep everything family-friendly. We do realize that not everyone finds the same things offensive, and we're certain we don't get everything right, but we do our best to be fair and try to apply the standards to keep our community a positive place for reefers of all ages and backgrounds.

I got my post removed as well. I don't think you were reported. It is just okay to say, "wrassehole" but not a bassmage.... I give up.

Well like Daniel said different people find different things offensive. I did not see any spaces. I personally only take offence when people direct their words at someone or otherwise uncalled for.
