What's the maximum number of colonies likely to be sustainable on one site.
The site is on a farm near an orchard with semi-detahced housing estate about 1/2 mile away, a mixed wooded area nearby and loads of balsam and rosebay again about 1/2 mile away.
I ask because the site is a 2 m wide strip about 100 yds long, so I could fit very many colonies on it. Also, they have a farm shop that can sell 20 jars of honey a week!
