It'd be worth a calculation.
Every single beekeeping book has a chapter on selling honey, because all beekeepers are flush with it. When you consider that most of the "hours" spent making honey are spent by the bees, I could see making $50-$100/hr (but not necessarily translating that to $100-$200k/year)
- Qworg 13y agoThis is very true. You'll never make that much as a hobby beekeeper. The real money is in pollination. That said, the hours worked calculation for me last year was $650 / 10-15 hours or so.
- winter_blue 13y ago> most of the "hours" spent making honey are spent by the bees I take this as a confession of guilt in the enslavement of poor unwitting bees. Nobody told 'em a bunch of humans were gonna steal their booty. And to top it off, they don't get pissed and stop making -- we steal, and they just still keep making more for us to steal... ;)
