Hey Wayne,
I am in Gainesville Florida. 90 miles south of Jacksonville. I have been
trying to reach the inspector to register & have him inspect the hive but
he has been all over the state. I'll keep trying. Yes I have been reading a
lot & I have made arrangements with the fellow I bought the hives from to
work with him on & he will pay me in hives. We have yet to decide on the
details. I told him if I still enjoyed beekeeping & wanted to get into it
mor I would by all his 10 frame hives (30) and the pollination rights of
the farmer where the hives are. Is $50.00 a hive a good price? The hive I
bought consists of 1 deep super and a 6 5/8 super, top, bottom, queen
excluder. The hive was well weathered but was pretty full of brood.
Thanks for answering me back so quickly.
Kelley
