It would be to expensive. Honey weighs a ton. The price in my local area is $350 per 5 gal this week. That is local pick up. I use all I produce currently. I let my bees have more than recommended because I think its better. Those three deeps were over wintered. Most bee keepers in may area only use 2. If I shipped honey I would have to let the gov control me. I will bee keeping it local if I do ever sell any.
It would be cheaper to get your own hives
If you want Russians you would have to catch a Swarm then insert a Russian Queen.
But its possible to find a nuc on craigslist right now
