That is an interesting way of judging your impact.  We run 6 main colonies and perhaps a dozen nucs on our one acre plot at home and I did wonder whether I was pushing it a bit.  However, virtually everything we plant is specifically for pollinators, with a large area devoted to wild flowers.  We have seen a huge increase, not only in bumble bees, but solitary bees, hover flies, moths and butterflies, beetles etc.  Excellent crop of honey as well, so we must be doing something right!

Best wishes
