Full time job + beekeeping/ how many hives?
Sledin:
I'm just wondering how many hives one person could manage while keeping a full time job?

Just to prove a point, not trying to be a wise guy but that is like asking HOW LONG IS A STRING. I know one fella that has 100 hives and a full time job.

If no children then try 5 hives otherwise try 2 hives. I also like to add that if you are a seasoned beekeeper then
your numbers might go up. If you are new to beekeeping then keeping them alive over this winter might give you the
needed experience. This will also give you an idea of how much time you can spare in the next season.

A guy I just met a few days ago has 85 hives that he tends to around his full time job.

How many "full time" jobs are you capable of handling? It is not a trick question. If you are good at juggling and excel at time management the number of hives could be quite high. If you have no one but yourself as a work staff and no other support then likely the number will be quite low.
