A Few Reasons To Start Beekeeping
- Harvest your own natural delicious honey—the only food that doesn’t spoil.
- Honey is a highly demanded commodity that can be sold, bartered, and added value through other products like mead (honey wine).
- Honey has healing antibacterial properties that are used for medical purposes like topical creams.
- Gardens and farms need honey bees to significantly help increase the fruit and vegetable production through pollination.
- Produce natural beeswax—another high dollar commodity with natural antibacterial and antiseptic properties that can be sold and used for lip balms, body creams, candles, etc.
- Save the hood and the world! Honey bees have been dying out and if bees die, we die! Beekeepers are needed to save the world!Â
