Hello All,
I was surfing the net awhile ago and pulled up a piece from the Daytona New
journal ( the paper I grew up reading when I lived in Flroida).

http://www.newsjournalonline.com/media/video/beekeeper/

In the area I live in we have lost three large commercial operations. Osage
honey Farms (est. 1955), Mathes Honey farms ( est. 1926) & Thompson honey
Farms ( est. 1960's)

In north eastern Nebraska  Missouri Valley Honey Farm is all that is left of 
the
four large operations which called the area home.

Pierre South , Dakota was a town made up of commercial beekeepers for 
decades. I was told recently only one small commercial beekeeper remains 
today.
