Hey folks,

    A noivce here.  I saw a field alfalfa go in this spring and finally 
caught the farmer working in the field.  I just stopped in and got 
permission to move my bees to his field.  Now, I've got dreams of gallons of 
honey.
    Reality check!  This a 20 acre field with another 10 or 12 acres two 
miles away.  I've picked a spot between both fields that has good access, is 
a mile off the main road and will be in shade after 11 am.  There is water 
within a half mile, too.
    What do I need to ask him?  How long will the field keep blooming? 
Besides when he sprays the field is their anything else I need to be 
concerned about?  How many hives does it take to maximise honey production?

Thanks,
Don
