>>>> provide a small number of hives to truck gardens, backyard orchards, etc. within 25 miles typically charge for rental by hive? transport cost?
When I rented my bees to a watermelon patch, I charged $50 a hive for 8 hives. The patch was within 15 miles of my yard so I didn't charge transportation costs. This was in 2012.

Thinking no profit this year
BTW, so far it's been a very poor honey production season here 1/2 way between Montgomery and Mobile. I've heard its' poor all over this neck of the country.
