Owner has setup a small apiary of 10 beehives on the property. They are very active and are on track to produce about 1,000 pounds of pure raw organic honey this year. Last year they got about 700 pounds. What started as a small little side project is growing in scale, but it is still small enough for you to manage if interested or you can hire bee keepers. Owner currently has beekeepers who handle everything. Bees can be removed prior to closing if you prefer not to have them.
