The National Geographic article to which Dave Green refers is called AMERICA'S BEEKEEPERS, HIves for Hire in the May, 1993 issue. Whynott's book was published by Stackpole Books, Mechanicsburg, PA in 1991 "Following the Bloom" by Douglas Whynott gives more recent information on commercial beekeeping. You can also run a search at National Geographic which did an outstanding story on migratory beekeeping a few years back. I don't have the issue in hand right now.
