In this episode, I spoke with Mario Jacob, the former owner of D&J Apiary, who recently sold his company and comfortably retired at a younger age, proving that it is still possible to make a good living from honey bees.
Mario was a board member of the American Beekeeping Federation, among many other accolades.
In this conversation, we discussed the secrets to becoming a successful commercial beekeeper, his favorite business model, and the constant challenges faced by commercial beekeepers in the U.S.

One thing I can’t figure out is everywhere you read on every forum or anything like that people say “ oh no you can’t make any money keeping bees.” If that was really true then why does anyone even get into the business. I know a small beekeeper can’t make a fortune but I figure you could make a few thousand profit. Am I wrong in thinking that?

Always remember, Bees are business and if the bottom line isn't black you're out of business.
