Honey is widely known for it's soothing and curative properties. It is widely used across industries ranging from food and pharmaceuticals. My sister sells honey and it sells very fast. Sometimes, we run out of supply for days.

We want to start a beehive to start producing our own honey to supplement what we get from our supplier. How much

 

[Wisdom01]

I think a small-scale beehive business with 10 to 20 hives can cost approximately $2,000 to $3,000 to start, while a larger operation with over 50 hives can cost upwards of $10,000. It is important to remember that the profitability of a beehive business largely depends on the local market

 

[Gamer01]

You are right, the success of such a business and the ability to generate revenue for yourself from this business would highly defend on the location if you have lot of interested buyers in your location then you can expect to earn a good revenue from this way actually indeed .

There is always a market for it and people are ready to pay a premium. It is one market where the demand doubles the supply. Let me ask you a question. Can 20 hives produce up to 20 litres of honey within a week given optimum conditions?

The cost of setting up a beehive business to produce honey depends on a variety of factors, such as local conditions, your choice of equipment, and many more. The cost of beehive can go up to $250. Meanwhile, bees cost up to $200. You must factor in the tools you need for your beehive business.

Would you need to buy bees? Someone told me there are some hybrid bees that can has greater efficiency in producing honey. I reckon that the business is just expensive at start up. Running it is not that difficult. That's because the bees can take care of themselves.

 

[Gamer01]

yes indeed it can cost a good starting capital amount for the people who want to start such an business actually to be honest and there are many people who have successfully stated it as well , if you have contacts and can manage the business well then surely you can succeed with it actually indeed .

the best would be to see if you have a local / national bee hive association. and ask them. bee hive keepers usually have an association or group of other keepers. to help each other out, talk about the bee hive business, etc. also, here in europe, people are now stealing bee hives. so thats something else you might have to consider. where & how safe are your hives. i have some land & some yrs ago i wanted to buy 3 or 4 hives to put on my land. but the same shop that was going to sell me everything i needed, warned me about theft in my area. and advised me not to put them any where that was without a dog, in a closed area, protected, etc. in the end i didnt put the hives. as each hive with bees, queen, panels, etc was about 200 euros.

heres something interesting about honey. honey should only be consumed with a plastic or wooden spoon or utensil. the reason, metal spoons or utensils kills the enzyme in the honey. i just learned that recently & makes sense. i eat a lot of honey from my area. honey is also 1 of the few things that cant be artificially produced in a laboratory.

 

[Gamer01]

That is very important piece of information that has been provided by you actually to be honest , not many people would had know that you should only use honey with wooden spoons , and it is a thing that we should always keep in our mind from the next time when we eat honey actually indeed to be honest .

The cost may depend on where the hive is located. There are many people who may need to travel to remote locations so that they could extract honey. Indeed, many people travel to mountainous regions and other places for that. This may definitely incur travelling cost. Under such circumstances, there may be many local people who may have had already extracted honey from those places. many people buy honey from them and then they sell honey for a profit to people in cities.

Honey can't be produced in a laboratory and that's why if you have the original one, people would rush to buy. In my country, we unfortunately don't have a bee keepers association like that. Starting a beehive sounds really expensive. But I believe one can start small and scale up bit by bit.

Honey is actually extracted from hives. There are many companies that are actually producing counterfeit honey. This is why it is much better to consume raw honey. Such kind of honey is rarely available in many urban areas in my country. This is why many people usually travel to countryside for that. It takes a lot of cost to bring honey from countryside to cities. This is why raw honey which is available in cities could be more expensive.

 

[Gamer01]

You are right big companies can always make people fool easily that is because of their brand name and the trust they have built for themselves among the eyes of the people actually indeed so it is always good that people are indeed trying to find Legit sources of honey actually indeed .

Can we just forget about travelling and talk about the things that is needed to set up a honey farm. I know that one needs a hive. How much is a typical beehive? I know that we have the one of $40. Are there other things needed to set up a beehive business?

if i was you, i would be asking the google gods & madam you tube, for quality info on what your looking for. about having a bee hive farm. i think its a good idea but like with anything, there are a lot of unknowns. you would have to buy protective clothing, some tools & most of all, a spinning barrel that extracts the honey. maybe find some other people to split the cost of the extraction barrel. it might be expensive.

i had a friend about 20 yrs ago put 4 or 5 hives on some land he lived on. he bought everything needed. in the end, it was a good idea but the hives were killed by some type of virus or illness. plus some time of worm or insects, i cant remember which. he also really didnt take care of the hives the way they should of

honey will always be in demand. but its not a set it & forget about it type of farming. you also have farmers looking to rent your hives, to pollinate trees & their crops.

It is true that it is not a set it and leave it kind of business. But it doesn't really require such intense care like aquaculture and poultry for instance. Going around to check once in a week can suffice. And I also think it is good for someone to have a vet or someone in animal health profession consult for the farm to prevent diseases.

about the vet to check the health of the hives is necessary. thats why i mentioned earlier to find other people who have bee hives or a club. its always better to ask somebody who has experience or contacts. aqua culture is also a great idea but needs daily attention, like you already know. but the agua culture business can be very profitable. theres a australian guy on you tube that has some great videos on it.

a healthy hive will usually take care of itself, with little attention. its when you have sickness or other issues is when the major problems set in. its good your looking around & checking out your business options.

like i said before, madam you tube can be a great help. but you tube also has a bunch of idiots posting crap. so you have filter out the bs.

 

[Gamer01]

Yes agreed it requires much tough effort and it is not actually for indeed everyone so only few people can do it properly that is wht you should always understand and analyze the setup of business before you are going to start with it actually indeed to be honest in my opinion.

Majority of the honey hives are not available in cities in our country and this was the main reason why I was emphasising so much on travelling to places where bee hives are available. It might be possible that honey bees might have had created a hive in certain parts of the city. However, it is a really rare site to be honest,

 

[kayode10]

The first thing is to secure an expense of land and this usually cost between $2,000 to $3,000 in my country. You will need to provide some materials to the land that we attract b to the hive you are trying to build. It cost $7 to create an hive for a community of b and this multiplied the number of the one you want. The total cost shouldn't be more than $5,000.
