What do those of you who have 20 or more hives do for insurance? Primarily liability in case of issues with honey sold or bee stings.

I remove bees from houses. I tear out walls, ceilings, and floors. I tell them I am not insured.

They soon realize an attorney would cost them more than they could get. I have never been sued for a bee related incident.

A few years back my insurance company found out I kept bees and refused to renew my house and car insurance when they came due. Despite being completely claim free they would not renew and told me to go elsewhere. I have found another that insures me, but if I was serious about it I would have to get commercial liability insurance at around $500 for the year.
