> 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.
