The thing I remember him saying about keeping bees, is that he had only a few hives on his property, but kept most of them on other people's land that had flowering crops or clover. Bees that have to travel long distances to find the flowers won't make much honey in comparison to those who have hives located along the fencerows of crops. The farmers were happy to have the hives on their property as it increased pollinazation. For about 4 years, after he got out of the honey business, he had a small garden (less than 1/2 acre) and raised day lillies, which he sold to a local florist. Fairly labor intensive, but $$ outlay was next to nothing. 30 acres. I think if it were me, and the land was cleared and plantable, I would put it in hay. It's fairly easy to plant, and if you keep the weeds out, and go with a species that comes back on it's own each spring, like coastal bermuda, you are set for a number of years. You won't get rich on it, but the investment is minimal-as far as farming investment goes. Here, if we get the rain, we get 2 cuttings/year.
