Hello, all.
My name is Hannah, I'm currently in the military and I'm looking to do beekeeping for an occupation when I get out in a year. I want to build up to commercial beekeeping. What are the best places to raise hives in Oregon? What locations have more nectar and blooms than others?
I appreciate the assistance. Have a good one.
Hannah

 ? ? ? Thank you for your service!  I wish you the best luck in the future! But why would you expect a beekeeper in Oregon to give you information on locations??!!!!  Existing Oregon Beekeepers, some having been there for decades are continuously seeking the answer to your question.  Here is another question you might ask, "Does anyone here know where a pot of gold coins is buried? If so, please let me know!".   Normy

Silly Norm, everyone knows it is buried in your backyard.
Back to the pressing question. Your questions are very complex and really never answered. If beekeeping where so simple. It is ever changing and shifting. To be learned by years and years of failure and success

If that was my goal, I would look just inland from Gold Beach. Maybe the Agnes area. Lots of blackberries and other vegetation that will supply nectar longer than most areas. Slightly warmer than most of the west side and, although wet in winter, less so than most of the west side. You just have to get a short distance from the coast. Even Hunter Crk or Pistol River is far enough away.
Next would be up the Smith River from Reedsport for all the same reasons. Both places will have bear issues to contend with.
