I have been approached by a man who raises pumpkins for sale around
Halloween.  Over the last two years his yield has dropped over 80
percent due to the lack of pollination.  He wants me to place several
hives on his property.  There is plenty of forage for them, his
pumpkins and over 200 acres of soybeans and cotton.  My question is
that there two large chemical plants within 1 mile of his location.
Could the honey become contaminated or am I worrying about nothing.
