Chris:
> How close are they to other colonies? How many other colonies? Does 'season' in this context mean 'year' or a quarter of a year?
I don't know about other colonies. There is a lot of commercial beekeeping in my region.
By seasons, I meant four consecutive years (that is to say, four working seasons).
A season with the bees runs from spring to fall, and in NY State winter lasts 5-6 months.
