I was wondering what the going rate is in your area and what you pollinate.

Depends on the crop, hives per acre requirement, etc. Ballpark figure is $50.00 to $80.00 per hive.

Since I live in Southern Oregon, I inquired about almond pollenation...I am told the going prince is $140-150 per hive...But the hive has to have 7 frames covered with bees.

Whatever the "going rate" is I won't haul them around for less than $50 a hive because it's too much work and too much gas for too little return otherwise. If they can find someone cheaper, then that's less work I have to do. :)

I like mine where they're at. I get a good early flow and then when it gets hot I can coast along, start my fall program, make queens , garden, etc.-etc. and on and on, oh well, ya'll get the pic.

I think I'm going to have to (eventually, when my hive count is respectable) network with some my neighboring state's organic almond farmers. 8-) Be great way to jump start the season and get paid for doing so.
