Mike,
I'm president of the Sonoma County Beekeeper's Association in 
Northern California....Wine Country. We have about 150 members, 40 to 
70 show up at meetings. I have no idea about the number of hives. I 
have 60. Our editor has around 10, our treasurer about 60, our 
secretary has 3 and our VP has 50. One of our members has at least 
600 and another has 1800. About 10 are professional (making some sort 
of income from bees.)
