'Bout a 100 - Sideline Beekeeping Developing a Product & Services Line: Finding The Right Balance in Products and Services

摘要

Last month I discussed some thoughts about the management of a sideline operation and marketing hive products. This time I want to dive into the issues associated with the selection of the products and services you plan to offer to customers regardingyour sideline beekeeping activities. You know you cannot do it all with your bees and there are limits on the range of products and services you can provide. You may want to focus on honey production and pollination, or you may want to jump into the value added hive product production and marketing operation. Or, if you have an unquestioning co-beekeeper, a lot of time, and plenty of energy, you may want to try to do a bit of all of these activities and select the ones where you have the most success and profit.
