Any beekeepers in the house?

we let someone else have their hives at our place but after initially thriving something devastated them and he pulled the hives. I would like to try it someday. Is it something you can make a decent living at or is it just a hobby or one of like 8 things you have to do all at once to make a living in agriculture? I have land but its one big slope with poor clay and hardpan soil for the most part and was thinking of grazing animals and selling a few veggies at the farmers market, the latter on a hobby scale. I would like to make a living off the land either this way or with greenhouse floriculture or some combination thereof, but don't know where to start and how to attract/keep customers.

well still interested in bees and hope they make it through whatever (pesticides? or fungal disease caused by pesticides?) depleted them so much.
