Hi, Andros (and others who might be interested). You inquired:

On the largest island of the Bahamas, Andros, I saw four hives along the
road just south of the airport on North Andros (near the town of San
Andros). Apparently, a successful Seventh Day Adventist group has an
extensive farming operation there, including beekeeping --- I'm sure they
have more than four hives.
You didn't indicate where you live, but I have a list of a score of
Bahamian tourist offices that you could contact.
Contact me directly (not over the net), indicate your location, and I
will send you the information about the tourist office closest to you.
