Needed bees to pollinate my garden...what do you charge?
Comments (9)Sue, I read your page and it sounds like were doing the same thing, although you are on a much bigger scale. Are house is an old mill house that runs along the river across from an old mill on a dead end street, so we have houses on both sides, but the woods kind of flow into the back yard. Most of the level part of our yard as well as some of the sloping part has been turn into garden space for vegetables and flowers.Our front yards are entirely flowers. My wife did a splendid job, planting poppie,wild geraniums,coreopsis,sunflowers,evening primrose,lavender, and much more. In the back we have our beehives at the top of the hill. We are constantly working to improve the soil and will definitely leave this little patch of earth better off than we found it. As far as your bee questions, some beekeepers will charge you for pollination. In these cases, it's a way of earning part of their income. When that's the case, the beekeeper will promise you a strong hive, bring it before the crop blossoms, and pick the bees back up after the bloom, then find another crop to pollinate. $75 to $100 per hive is not unusually high for that service. On the other hand, as you have done, you can often find an agreement that is mutually beneficial to both of you. A beekeeper is looking for a place to put a hive or two and your looking for some bees. This situation works when there is enough forage for the bees, besides the pumpkins you have, and they can get a good balance and variety of pollen and nectar sources. In that case, the hives can be left there year round and it's a win-win situation. I have a question for you which I've posted on the pset forum and haven't gotten a good reply to. Do you know of anything that prevents vine borers other than chemical sprays? And also,one of my hives is near a field where pumpkins are grown. Are any sprays typically used during the bloom when my bees would be working the flowers? Tony...See MoreLet's do our share to save the bees!
Comments (1)Yes! Thank you so much, Maria....See MoreWhat do you charge for your 3-4' pots and 6 hole trays?
Comments (4)Last year, I started charging $3 per 4" pot, $5 per gal pot, $10 per 3gal pot and $15 per 5gal pot. These were tomatoes. I soon had to drop the price of the 3 and 5 gals to $7 and $10. I had a few 4pk and 6pk which I sold at $1/plant. I mainly sold tomatoes, peppers and eggplant, I don't remember selling any flowers. I was the highest in my market, but I've been selling this plants for a few years and have a reputation of having good dependable growing plants. Plus if someone comes back and tells me their plant died, I make sure they followed my directions on how to grow, then I will replace it, if they bought it less than 30 days prior. I don't have many to replace. Hope this helps you....See Morecell phones charges-what do you pay?
Comments (23)Yes, you absolutely cannot trust coverage maps. According to all the major carriers we have 3G/4G here, and we actually don't have any service at all. In the winter when the tourists come, it's like that old "can you hear me now?" commercial outside in the parking lot. I'm actually pleased about this. I have a real dumbphone (not even texting), prepaid, for $100 a year, landline plus internet for $104 a month (I'm jealous of your rate, oakleyok), and then for traveling I have a mifi which costs $5 only in the months when I use it, plus a fairly high per MB charge, but since I only use it occasionally in the car or when I'm in a place where there's no wifi network, that comes to about $50 a year....See MoreRon_and_Patty
