our standard yard rent is 30lbs of honey.

A pound a hive is about right.
We give out 60lbs of honey for our yards. They are all farm folks out here and use it up.
I pay 30 lb and if they need more then I give them a second case. I only have a few that takes me up on it.
I must be the cheapskate then, we give each land owner a gallon of honey and maybe some Suebee products, like the honey barbacue sauce. TED

Us Germans must must be cheap. We give our landowners 5 quart jars, usually two of summer honey, and then one late summer and two fall honey.One year they got a Basswood comb honey section, but we all know how rare those are.

we paid 60- 1 lb jars for 2 locations 50 hives in each. The landowner and grove manager also requested the honey in honey bears so they could give them as gifts....small price to pay for great locations

1 lb per hive. I have a waiting list of farmers who want hives on their properties.

6 qt jars. Cropland here rents for $125.00 an acre avg. The space my yards of 32 hives take up is about 25' x 35'. So I'm paying alot more than the cash croppers :-)

Would that be 125.00 per month or per year?
