Hi Mike & all
The question was aimed at USA & Canada, but I offer a UK comparison, I
can only speak for my county in UK... About 50% of beekeepers are
members of the county association, although the trend for membership is
rising slightly.
85% of these beekeepers keep between 5 and 15 hives. About 5% less than
5 hives The rest being anywhere between 15 hives and a couple of
thousand (with an average of about 80).
About 20% of the membership attend meetings.
