I've just been invited to set up an apiary on a proposed new solar farm 

where (for the sake of 'green credentials' I think) they intend to set 

aside 20 acres to plant a 'wild flower meadow'. Of course not all wild 

flowers are equally attractive to bees so it will be interesting to 

see, over time, which ones prosper and spread as a result of bee 

pollination.



I'm wondering how many hives 20 acres will support.  The farming in the 

area is fairly industrial but the hedgerows seem to have plenty of bee 

forage.
