Many farmers get rich by beekeeping. What are the benefits of developing bee farming?

Bee industry refers to the breeding project of artificially raising bees and taking their products. It has a history of thousands of years. When it comes to beekeeping, people call it a "sweet cause". In fact, many farmers have embarked on the road of beekeeping to get rich. Let's look at the benefits of developing beekeeping!

First, the investment cost is low.

Compared with other breeding industries, the investment cost of bee breeding is very small, mainly the purchase of bee seeds, which is generally about 50 ~ 100 yuan/spleen (including queen bee). With technology, a spleen bee can quickly breed into a large group, and then several boxes of bees can be obtained by artificial bees, and the investment in beekeeping tools such as beehives, honey shakers and nests is not much.

Second, the breeding efficiency is high.

The main product of bee breeding is honey. Good honey is basically not sold. Many China honey raised in rural areas are basically taken away as soon as they are cut, but the premise is that the quality of honey is excellent and it can form a good reputation in the local area. Because the honey in the market is mixed, it is difficult to distinguish between true and false, and many people have to go to the door and watch it cut from the beehive before they can rest assured. This kind of local honey is about100 ~ a kilo in 200 yuan.

Third, it does not occupy cultivated land.

Bee farming does not need high places, does not occupy cultivated land, and does not need to grow large areas of feed like pigs and cattle. Take the fixed-point culture of Chinese bees as an example. As long as it is in a quiet place, such as the front house in the countryside, the area of a box of bees is very small, and the spacing between boxes is 2-3 meters (the spacing may cause bees to nest), but if Italian bees are raised, it is because of chasing flowers and honey.

Fourth, the management is relatively simple.

The daily management of bee breeding is relatively simple. Check the bee colony regularly at ordinary times to help drive away enemies such as wasps and ants. It may be busy in the season when bees are distributed, especially when there are a lot of them. You may be in a hurry these days, but the technical requirements of bee breeding are not simple, especially in disease prevention and control. If you are not careful, you may be wiped out. Therefore, it is best for novices to accumulate experience with a small amount of farming as a sideline!

Fifth, the labor intensity is low.

Compared with other aquaculture, the labor intensity of bee farming is much less. For example, the income of raising a box of bees is similar to that of raising a pig, but the labor intensity of raising a box of bees is much less than that of raising a pig. For example, a labor force can manage about 30 ~ 40 boxes of bees in rural areas, and most of the time is idle. If you let a person raise 30 to 40 pigs in the countryside (this does not mean mechanized farming), it is estimated that,
