- WaitWaitWha 5y agoThanks for the correction. I miss-read it as monthly cost.
- giantg2 5y agoTrue. $200 per hive is still high in my opinion. Close to half of expected revenue for local honey (50 lbs avg at $10/lb). Then you have additional costs like bottling, the treatment chemicals, packages to replace lost hives, etc.
