The Joy of Beekeeping and Honey Bees
Pursuing beekeeping is a hobby you'll never regret and the advantages speak for themselves, particularly if you are interested in beekeeping with honey bees. Beekeepers will have the joy of their garden (and nearby gardens) being pollinated and will also enjoy their own delectable honey.
Bees Are Very Hard Workers
The term "busy as a bee" is commonplace, and with very good reason. That's because it is so very true! Just 35 or so days after their born, bees will die because their wings have been worn out due to the never ending work they have performed in sourcing nectar for the hive to make honey. At this point, they are of no use to the hive. The colony stores the honey which acts as their food supply during the times that flowers don't bloom. After a season that has been plentiful with nectar from the flowers, the colony will end up accumulating far more honey than they can possibly hope to consume. The beekeeper of a hive like this can certainly harvest enough honey for themselves to enjoy and be able to sell the rest.
Liquid Honey and Comb Honey
There are two paths for beekeepers to take to make money from the honey their hive is producing by selling two different varieties of honey. The honey that's taken from the hive itself, known as "liquid honey", is the first of these options. This is done by using centrifuge equipment with machines known as "extractors". The other choice is to sell the individual pieces of "comb". The honey that remains in the wax combs first constructed by the bees is known as the comb honey. Comb honey is highly prized by those who do favor the natural approach, although is it less adaptable than the liquid form of honey; such as being used for cooking and in the seasoning of drinks.
How the Flowers and the Soil Impact Honey
Honey has a multitude of flavors and colors but this is a fact shared by few. It starts with the flowers because different flowers have scents that will vary from another flower. Accordingly, the nectar from one particular flower is going to have a different smell and taste to that of another flower. The makeup of the soil the flower grows in is another factor as to how the honey tastes and looks like. For example, honey that is the product of the nectar of alfalfa can be white to a clear color due to the drier, alkali soil it grows in. And honey that is the product of the nectar of buckwheat tends to be quite dark because of the levels of acidity in that soil. The color and taste of honey is also influenced by the quality of the honey comb that the colony has cultivated. The most common color is in the range of different hues of yellow but it's not unusual to see red or even green honey.
Choosing Beekeeping as a Business Opportunity
When it comes to the processing, labeling and handling of food products when honey and other kinds of bee products are involved, it's very important to follow the guidelines of state and federal law. It must be understood that it's a real business and the guidelines of local government bodies may differ for beekeeping in certain areas. One must also consider the marketing strategies that will be needed to promote and sell their honey bee produce. Some common questions are: "What's the best place in my locality to sell honey?" or "Who should I be targeting for the biggest sales?". Beekeeping is certainly a great hobby. But when the conversion from hobby to business takes place, the decisions that will need to be made will be decisions to ensure not just a small side income for the beekeeper, but prosperity.
