Depends on the hybrid!Hi,
I've was offered a chance to place hives in 5 acres of sunflowers. Does anyone know if 5 acres of sunflowers is enough forage area to make it worthwhile to move bees into?
Why does every move mean a loss of queens?Tell them it will be worth your while to bring in 10 hives for $500 or more if its less than 10 miles away from both you and bees current location. Otherwise forget it. Every move means a loss of queens...
They are not, it's planted for hunters.......doves specifically. I'm now wondering if it's worth doing at all. Does anyone know how much nectar SF would produce?Also make sure they aren't using systemic pesticides.
Like I said above. "Depends on the hybrid!: Some times we have made zilch and other years 80 lbs.... I just stay away now!!!!!!! Not worth the loss with the bees so valuable for packages and almonds.They are not, it's planted for hunters.......doves specifically. I'm now wondering if it's worth doing at all. Does anyone know how much nectar SF would produce?
