I did find an isolated grower close to me with 20 acres. The guy he
contracted out to called two days ago and said his bees were dead, and I
am so close that I was able to move up 20 hives yesterday and today. The
pollenator  varieties are just reaching full bloom, but the main crop is
just starting to swell, so I think I got in at the right time.

To those with experience, at the rate of 1 hive per acre with an average
of 6-8 frames of bees per hive will I have to put supers on if I keep them
up there for 5-6 weeks? The hives get sun first thing and nobody sprays
around there as far as I know.
