I know it may sound crazy, but when we split in
Florida to singles, we keep about a thousand in a
yard. It's just convenience. They all seem to build up
pretty nice and I notice no difference with only 150
to a yard. When we run for honey we usually only run
32 to 40 up north in Michigan. When I first heard of
people doing this, I thought they were crazy.
The area with the big yards hardly had any citrus to
build on. I think the oaks helped alot. They yield
some nectar in the south, so they tell me. Oaks never
yield up north. This year I moved to the panhandle of
Florida and will try for the ti ti and gallberry. They
say it's just huge for buildup.
