What an interesting idea. You would, however, have to find a way to
protect your hives from these massive epidemics that bees seem to be
prey to. Last year most honey-producing hives in the Southeast and
Mid-Atlantic were wiped out by some virulent disease. Honey sold
in the local farmers' markets is now brought in from points north
until the local beekeepers can restore their hives.
