<<I found that Google Maps has aerial imagery of astonishing  resolution.  
Zooming in on my property at the highest resolution, I can  actually see and 
count my beehives!  That's a resolution of better than  6" on the ground per

Illinois.)>>


Absolutely true. The photo of my allotment is several years old, and was  
taken before I had the weeds under control. But I can count the hives quite  
easily.
