There's been quite a bit of buzz concerning bees in the past few years. Honey bees, which produce honey, are dying out due to what is being called Colonial Collapse Disorder (CCD). There are a number of theories to what causes CCD, but the exact cause is unknown. Since bees pollinate a very large percentage of our crops, if they all die out it will cause problems.
Lucky for us entrepreneurs, this emergency can make us money, as well as help the out the world. If you were to be a beekeeper and manage beehives, the profits you would gain would be enormous. You can sell honeyand bees for extremely high prices compared to what they used to be.
What You Need
- Hive Bodies

- Entrance Reducer
- Hive Outer Cover

- Feeder
- Varroa Screen/Monitoring Tray
- Hard Plastic Helmet
- Round Tie-down Veil
- Stainless Steel Smoker with Heat Shield

We won't get into the technicalities here, as they are tedious and would take a long time.
A buddy of mine is a beekeeper, and his income per year is $800,000. That's nowhere near the limit either. If you were to manage larger amounts of hives, you could be making more than that. Be sure to check your local beekeeping laws, as some places don't permit beekeeping.
