    We kept bees for a couple years, got up to 8 hives I think. Never took any honey, mainly got into it to help let swarms repopulate wild hives. Down to one hive now, need to split ot come spring. Bees are amazing, I miss messing with them, just don't have the time now....

    I currently have 21 hives, assuming they all get through winter.
