Hi Beekeepers,
 
I'm kinda new to the list.  I do have a few questions maybe someone can clearly
answer.
 
To start a bee hobby. How many colonies should I begin with?  Is one hive
consider a hobby?
Also how many hives would I have to increase to be considered a commerical beek
eeper?
 
I thank anyone whom replies to my questions.
