I would guess around 40.00. Here in Florida for watermelons it is 40-50 a hive.

i have heard with the gas prices they are up to $50-$60 a hive this year and some higher and probably a few lower but thats crazy, cost to much to travel and work hives.

Dallas you should charge more, those are about the same prices when gas was $1.50 a gallon.
