 HINT:
And I do know in the town I live in if you have honey bees you may get a property tax brake if you owe them or not.

When I get to the point of having enough hives to place on others property. i plan to use the figures that my uncle did with his apiary. for every full super. (apx 60 lbs) he would offer the land owner that wintered his hives 1% by weight of honey for him and his family on the first pulling of supers. ( with the stipulation that he would not sell it in the area and if he gives it away to use his labeling.)down here we can have 2 flows so the the land owner would only get it from one flow. that should allow them a good quantity of honey for them.

A quart jar or 2.   That makes most people happy.
