I am interested in this as well. I suspect the answer will be $60-$80/hive range depending how long the bees are needed. Different varieties will flower at different times and if someone has a number of different varieties the bloom can last several weeks. An other factor that might affect the price is the grower's spray schedule, and any requirement that the bees be moved with little notice.

We must have some folks who know from first hand experience what the going rate for apple pollination is! (Perhaps this thread belongs in another forum?)
