I have two. I really do not want to have more but I do want them to be healthy and productive.

I have enough tops and bottoms for 200 hives. Sometimes I have to use makeshift tops or bottoms because I run out, which would mean I'm over 200, and sometimes I have some setting around, which would mean I'm under 200. In queen rearing season I usually have 200 mating nucs also. I usually try to overwinter between 30 and 50 nucs in addition to the 200 hives. But people like round numbers. So I'll just say 200.

I have 18 more or less.....I got a swarm call tonight so maybe it will be 19 tomorrow!. Mine are not all in the same place - 2 at home, 2 at Blue Heron, 2 in Rabun county, 1 at my daughter's house, 2 at the Stonehurst Place Inn, 9 in south Georgia....

Four bee yards with around 65 at the moment but that could increase in the next few weeks, selling some here and there, adding some here and there.

12 colonies spread out among 4 bee yards. They consist of captured swarms, cut-outs, splits, and 1 package. I have 10 frame Langs, 5 frame deep nucs, & 1 Kenyan Top Bar Hive.

5 right now, but that wil increase as soon as the swarming starts around here.

GWDawg1 · May 04, 2011, 08:20:26 AM

Two, with two more nucs on the way this month. Just getting started.

VolunteerK9 · May 04, 2011, 09:30:57 AM

13 and a half. The half is a trapout Im doing so Im not counting it til I can get it home. You need to talk to Redbee on here and ask him if you want some impressive numbers.

BjornBee · May 04, 2011, 09:53:26 AM

I have about 100 registered with the state.

But lets just say I have few more than that..... :roll:

Grid · May 04, 2011, 10:25:44 AM

5 right now, looking at increasing to 8 when I get a second bee yard started, 4 each.

hankdog1 · May 04, 2011, 02:52:30 PM

2 so far but weather pending i'll have 4 after i do my splits this weekend. Then it's feed feed feed to see how many more splits i can make.

CapnChkn · May 04, 2011, 03:19:42 PM

2 colonies, 6 nucs, 3 Langstroth hives, one KTBH, which I shouldn't count because I built it so badly.

Davepeg · May 04, 2011, 04:47:05 PM

3 made it through the winter - we're looking for 2 - 3 more but BetterBee kept changing our date and now we're not available the weekend they have our bees!

Anyone in the NY (rockland\bergen) county area know of any bees - let me know!

Brian D. Bray · May 04, 2011, 05:00:25 PM

I've got as many as I have with more planned.

Haddon · May 04, 2011, 05:22:34 PM

One hive one swarm and a make shift nuc.

But that all could change was up to 7 last year and only made it to winter with one. :-x

njoylife10 · May 04, 2011, 06:06:54 PM
