While beekeeping is both a hobby and a devotion for thousands across the country, it can also be a lucrative home business. I have met many people who are intrigued by the idea of keeping bees but who have never given it a try, simply because they don't know where to begin. For such a big business, there is precious little information out there on how to get a bee enterprise's wheels turning. What follows is my personal blueprint for success in the field. Like any other worthwhile accomplishment, the job is at once easy and arduous, a labor of love with a healthy dose of sweat equity.

A healthy and secure Florida honey bee industry is valuable to all. Florida Apiary Inspectors certify movement of honey bee colonies throughout the state and nation. These colonies are monitored for diseases, honey bee pests and unwanted species. The Department has the most comprehensive state program (e.g., numbers of inspectors and traps) to prevent the accidental introduction of the unwanted Africanized honey bee.

CONTACT US One Shields Avenue, Davis, California 95616-8699 530-752-8136 HOME March/April 1994 Starting a Small Beekeeping Operation Eric C. Mussen, Extension Apiculturist, UC Davis The number of US beekeepers has declined steadily since World War II, partly because land development has eliminated many flowering plants from which bees collect nectar to make honey. However, nearly 100,000 people in the US still keep bees for fun or profit. Beekeepers enjoy being their own bossesdeciding what to do and when to do it, being responsible for their own successes or failures. Beekeepers are adept at, and spend a significant amount of time in, assembling and repairing hives, frames, and other equipment. They enjoy the natural world and appreciate the contribution their bees make in increasing plants and benefiting the animals that use the plants for food and shelter. Getting Started in Beekeeping One knowledgeable beekeeper is needed for every 500 to 1,000 colonies. Without some experience and lots of sage advice, taking care of a commercial beekeeping operation would be overwhelming. Experienced beekeepers are full of advice. Their years of experience have shown them what does and doesn't work. These beekeepers are also your best bet at getting into the business. With your enthusiasm and his or her expertise and apiary locations, you could work out a phased retirement plan that eventually leaves you in charge. When kept in a healthy, stress-free condition, bees will thrive as long as food and water are available in abundance. But this success can be a problem. Populous colonies often swarm in the spring. While fascinating to watch, it is not appreciated by neighbors in whose bushes the swarm settles. Worse, the swarm sometimes finds an opening and moves into the wall of the neighbor's house.

In modern-day Yemen, an offer of honey continues to have an important role when welcoming a guest. Honey is often served in banquets. Honey and eggs are considered important for fertility and physical strength and therefore are given to young bridegrooms or circumcised boys.

57. NASS Report In terms of numbers of colonies* and involvement in beekeeping as a The typical commercial beekeeper, for whom beekeeping is the main source of income http://gears.tucson.ars.ag.gov/dept/abf.html

A LOOK AT THE U.S. BEEKEEPING INDUSTRY The beekeeping industry in the United States is so diverse that characterizations are difficult; however, some generalizations can be made. In terms of numbers of colonies* and involvement in beekeeping as a profit-making enterprise, the range of beekeepers runs from hobbyists with one or two colonies in a backyard or "out at the farm," to sideliners operating up to 500 colonies to bring in a second income, to commercial operators with thousands of colonies and several employees on their payrolls. The "typical" commercial beekeeper, for whom beekeeping is the main source of income, operates 1,500 to 2,500 colonies and has full time employees and additional harvest-time help. Depending on the area of the country and other factors, a colony of bees will produce 80 to 120 pounds of surplus (harvestable) honey in an average year. To the beekeeper, the value of raw honey is about 80 cents per pound, up from 50 cents in 1994. Currently, about 2.4 million colonies of bees in the United States produce about 210 million pounds of honey in any given year. Consumption is about 275 million pounds.

58. Bees1 beekeeping, Pictures, Photos, George DeLange, Audrey DeLange. This page shows a little bit of what that beekeeping experience was like. http://www.delange.org/Bees1/Bees1.htm

Best Digital Beekeeping Pictures And Photos Page One George And Audrey DeLange George and his friend Al Weichold kept bees in the Phoenix, Arizona area from about 1966 to about 1992. During that time they learned a lot about how to produce honey in Arizona. George learned most of what he knew about beekeeping from Al. George shared what he learned by teaching beekeeping for several years. This page shows a little bit of what that beekeeping experience was like. As the years passed the Phoenix area became less agricultural and more urban. The killer bees were migrating into the area from Mexico and the trachea mite began to become a problem. More and more citrus trees were being destroyed for homes and more and more laws were being passed that restricted where bees could be kept. George and Al both decided to abandon the beekeeping business and to move on to other interests. Of course, once a beekeeper, always a beekeeper and the love of beekeeping is still there. Al moved on to El Paso, Texas and started keeping bees as a hobby in that area until his passing after a short illness a few years ago. George still lives in the Glendale area, in a urban neighborhood about a quarter mile from where he kept his bees. George never thought that this would have happened as it did! Glendale and Peoria have certainly grown, but George often wonders; what will be their future without the bees?
