Looking for ½ acre to 1 acre of land to house 15 beehives for honey production and sale of nucleus colonies. I plan to practice treatment-free and organic beekeeping methods. I’ll need space to grow a variety of flowers and cover crops for the bees to pollinate, and I hope to partner with a farmer looking for pollination services or landowner with extra space. The hives can be placed so far away from living spaces and high trafficked areas. Beekeeping is relatively low maintenance, so I‘d likely be on the land for no more than 6 hours per week. Phone: 908-256-5712. Email: sananko82@gmail.com. 10/11
