Biggest issue is keeping the bees alive around row crops. You should plan on keeping your hives away from cotton and sorghum fields if possible. I think I have some apiary books floating around my collection. If I can find them, you’re more than welcome to them.

I do it as a hobby and have enough hives to make it almost a second full time job. If I tried to break down into hourly pay Id be in the red....
If you ever have any questions pm me as well Id be glad to help.Last edited by MASTERS; 05-02-2018, 07:03 PM.

I’d like to do this on my place in North Texas is anyone knows who might do this west of DFW?
