Hi, I've been doing a lot of research lately because I'm really keen on getting into this (I'm a complete beginner). I have about 3000 acres of land where I'd like to put a hive, but the area mostly consists of vegetable crop such as Broccoli, Celery, Lettuce, Cauliflower, Cabbage and Carrots (there is bushland next door as well which is just native flowers/plants) Although I'd put the hives as far away as I can from the working area I'm worried about the pesticides that the bees might be exposed to. I've already enquired about each pesticide used but waiting for a detailed reply from that. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with hives around this sort of farming area and if it's even feasible at all to have them near a mass production vegetable farming area. Thanks.
