Honey is cheap. Do beekeepers really make money?

Bee problem? To tell the truth, it's not professional, just to discuss:

1. Do you make money by keeping bees?

I don't think beekeeping really makes money. Why? Personally, I think there is no profit (not much money) if you raise too little, and it is also a problem to raise too many skills. Often most people see large farmers, and everyone may think that honey is not pure. Even large bee farms often change places, which may not be able to maintain their own bees all the year round, and may raise many bees in different seasons, resulting in a downward trend in prices.

People who have beekeeping skills should be able to make money, but beekeeping is not without failure, so it is hard to say whether to make money or not.

2. Actually, the investment in bee breeding is not large. Some are hobbies, and some are for bringing home the bacon. Actually, the location is different. The local honey price is about 150-200 a catty, but most of them are farmed. Honey is not much, most of it is reserved. If it is slow, it may not work.

I am familiar with beekeepers, and my neighbors in my hometown are all professional beekeepers.

Go to the neighbor's house to buy it. A catty of honey 15 yuan, and a catty of light-colored white honey 20 yuan. It's also express delivery, but it doesn't include postage. Definitely pure honey. As for making money or not, it depends on the year. Sometimes you can make money, and sometimes you can't.

There were seven or eight professional beekeepers in our village decades ago, but now there are only two or three. If you don't make money if you don't manage well, you might as well do something else. Those who stick to it are all better in technology.

The neighbor kept bees for more than 40 years, which were passed on to him through three or four generations and carried forward in his hands. Now he has hundreds of boxes of bees. If the years are bad and honey production is low, then you can't make money. Honey production is high, so it can't be sold and can't make money.

The previous year's output was not low, but the backlog could not be sold in hand. Later, neighbors found the big brother of Farmer Channel and made two programs. The effect is quite good, and all the honey is sold. Sold 890 thousand that year.

If you manage well, you can make money, and those who don't make money also change careers. Generally speaking, it is better than farming.
