a new hive needs at least 2 years to establish its self. after the first harvest (depending on how much honey you took out and how well the flower situation around the hive is) harvesting once a year is possible. most of the time the bees can take care of themselves but there are predators, diseases, bad weather and over harvesting that can kill a hive. yes, it can be labor intensive. even more so if you have more than 1 hive. plus the cost of the equipment needed.
