Not to mention observation hives, etc.
Depending on the state law, this portion may not be needed at all. Many
states require bees be kept in hives with movable frames already.
Another issue: I know of several breeders who specifically breed for
gentleness, (among other things), but do any specifically breed for
non swarming tendencies? (and do the necessary testing that would be
required for selection of this?)
Overall I think it's pretty reasonable.
