Bees endangerment is about the bees, that are not regular honey-making bees. It's about many different species, that are specialised in different flowers pollination. People abuse this fact for marketing purposes.
This is why sample is very necessary for product sales. The sales in 6 years didn't impress them. But they tasted the while and saw it was is good and has a market yet to exploit.

I don't know why but one of my favorite things is when the Sharks start talking to each other in the background trying to get some numbers to get a deal working together.
Instead of lowering prices they jacked it up to $50 at total wine !!! Knowing how much it took to make it ($5) those margins are insane. Gonna be a no for me.
I wish this guy would have listened to the Sharks. I'm not a big drinker anymore but I would have liked to be able to try this... just not at their prices (which has gone up since this episode lol). I wish the Sharks could have a secondary series or something that addresses the deals that failed and what made them fail. It would be highly educational.
well done bro, you make me proud. i wish good for you and i love the way you make teji and the way you modernize it. i wish one day you will sell it in Ethiopia too.
Bee D'Vine Status: Turns out the Deal didn't close but the websites up and running. The current valuation of the company is unclear but according to sources it's $3.7 mil and some say its $1.2 mil.
This show alone will bet him sales over 1 million dollar, cause im sure everyone will be intrigued to try one, plus he's getting 4 sharks behind his company, he's going to be a millionaire next year, no question asked
My dude thinks he can play like Apple with their phones and stuff pricing. Going for the pristine price tag. He’s a tiny bit confused but he sure has the spirit. Gotta give him that.
There is no mead for sale local to where I live. If you want it, you have to make it yourself. They do however, sell things that have honey ADDED, but not fermented honey. If it was for sale locally, I would have bought one. Instead, I made my own.
Very cool for Kevin not to be salty about the wine competition jokes and happy for the deal

The sharks have teams of people that manage it for them. Also a lot of the companies from earlier seasons either go under or sell to larger companies.

No way this will do good without dropping his price. Tons of wine at local stores for under $20.
with 4 sharks by his side, it'll do good for sure.

Love Ethiopian Dance. Good luck brother🇪🇹
Consuming honey, bee’s source of food and energy, does not save the bees 😂
This product seems like it would work really well in cooking and baking recipes.
Looks like their comments about the steep price haven’t made a difference, because this wine is still selling for on average $50 per bottle. No thanks
Love it " dancing on your pallet " sounds delicious 😋
