How to make a small fortune raising honey bees: start with a large fortune!
Very clever solution on the feeder with the "porter-section"!
Finally! I've been waiting half the year for the new videos!
Great presentation with plenty of useful tips for any budding bee entrepreneurs.
Thank you for video! Best spring greetings from Ukrainian beekeepers to beekeepers in Canada and USA!
Love the trailer set-up.
Great presentation! I am going to be adding latches to my hives now. Thanks!
brilliantly explained
very enjoyable and useful talk, thank you.
Love the trailer

80 hives in a luton van? hmmm something tells me in europe they don't have normal american amenities like air conditioning? I can imagine the heat dissipation from 80 hives. It would soon be 93 degrees inside. American vehicles all have air conditioning that I drive. I do have a pickup that I open the windows on, but that would be open in the back.

£6000 is amazing in 1970 but that's more like £75000 in today's money, accounting for inflation. That makes his projected £15000 less impressive. But i don't expect older people to understand the effects of inflation. They think you can still buy a house for £15000.
What does he mean a super and a section?
Sorry I don't consider 70+ hives a sideline. It's firstly a total material cost of 14k in total spend not including foundation and all the feeds and treatment costs or honey extraction equipment. Also the time each week to look after them even at 5 mins a hive it's 350mins or 6hours a week minimum. Sorry that's not a sideline that's a job on its own. Not to mension rearing treating extracting and all the rest.
Here in the USA with a national loss rate of 45+% making a living on beekeeping is very difficult...especially since most areas here no longer are able to support colonies with proper nutrition.
Ha! Fame at last. I ask a question! 😁
