Getting Started Interested in becoming a beekeeper? Whether you live on a small urban lot beekeeping is a great family project that, with the right planning, can actually pay for itself. No, really. Your fruit and vegetable gardens will increase in yield, you'll have natural beeswax available for crafts or to sell back to RBS, and, once your colonies are established, you can market your special brand of natural, raw honey to your neighbors and friends. Those with ten or so colonies can even do well in the business of pollination, earning $30-150/colony depending upon your business plan, hive management strategies and networking skills. At the very least, your eyes will open to the wonders of local flora as you become obsessed with what's blooming! |
