iowa My granddad kept 5 to 10 hives as long as he was alive. We always had lots or honey. He's use ,sell,trade it everyyear. I went and helped although my youth. Keeping hives ar'nt hard and require little work. It be a good hobbie for you wife to get into.
He's made maple syurp as well as hickory,white oak and used a little honey in them all.
