Reviewing In Business With Bees

How to Expand, Sell, and Market Honeybee Products and Services including Pollination, Bees and Queens, Beeswax, Honey and More, by Kim Flottum. Quarry Books, 2018.

This is a book about transforming a backyard hobby into a part-time or full-scale business; that is to say, making money at an avocation you enjoy.

If you just placed a hive or two of honey bees in the back yard, or have expanded to a half dozen colonies and bought an extractor to jar and label honey for family and friends, you're not quite ready for this book.

But if you now have more hives producing more honey than you can give away, or you're selling honey at a weekly farmer's market, then maybe it's time to look at making a business out of your beekeeping.

"Now your day job is getting in the way of the time you really want to spend with your beekeeping business. It's time to take the next step and make your bees your full-time bob," beekeeper Kim Flottum suggests.
