I am a beekeeper, not a "regular" farmer, but I keep bees on seven farm properties. I would be amazed if the farmers woulld get a tax deduction for this. I do pay "rent" even though it consists only of a few jars of honey, but really such placement of hives is more of a service and benefit to the farmer/orchardist than to the beekeeper. Why should they expect a tax break in addition? Ted Fischer Dexter, Michigan USA
