- What are the limits to growth? Expanding apiary.
I'm looking for some advice from anyone who has ramped up the size of their apiary from a dozen or so to a couple hundred I'm hoping to grow from my few hives to 250ish within a year or two I'm grafting queens and planning to feed them back whatever honey they have left from the winter and also supplement with sugar throughout the warm months

- Community Apiary Question | Beesource Beekeeping Forums
They have an urban apiary with 15-20 members managing 30 hives in a vacant lot Appears that keys are relations with neighbors, management of all of the hives in the apiary (so you don't get abundance of swarms or diseases passed from one to another), and security of the site (you need access for lots of folks, but not the wrong folks)
- How long to wait before relocating new swarm in swarm. . .
If your apiary is far away (More than 8 miles I recall) it doesn't matter because they will not fly that far back to the trap site) I just pointed out in another thread recently that the moving 3 feet per day from the trap to the apiary is a real pain

Apiary Inspection is definitely not a revenue generator for Florida Niche' pollinators, new beekeepers, take about 3 hours each which works out to about $3 33 an hour We have 9 inspectors and 3 supervisors that also inspect
