A ways to go...

My bee yard:



Another's bee yard: *



Do you think I have a way to go?

At least I don't have the job of a commercial beekeeper. Look at the following video at what they have to deal with (these are people who take hives to fields specifically for pollination. Look at the flatbed truck full of hives in the background!)



* The guy in the second picture lives in Oklahoma and is a queen bee breeder. The tiny hives are queen nucs, which are used to hold a queen and a few bees so she can mate and start laying. Check out his pictures - pretty neat!
