Hello,
I had planned on just being a hobby beekeeper with 1-2 hives this Spring and doing my best to keep it at a max of 2. I had also planned to keep my hives in town which seems to be a problem so I had to find new locations.
I will be putting one hive up at a friend's house with an additional hive if I get a swarm. I also plan on putting another hive at my grandfather's and will expand up to 4 hives there.
I got a request to put up some hives up at a location about 4 miles from my home. I have agreed to put up two hives and was shown an area about 150 feet long and told I could fill up that area.
What would be an unmanageable number of top bar hives for a single person with one day to work hives?
I have thought about starting with the top bar hives and then starting some foundationless langs.
Thanks for any advice.
