I doubt this kid has anything of his own that he has had to work for. So start by getting him to work for you repainting and repairing your hives. Then if he seems remotely interested have him work...

Just a reminder to please preregister. Lots of registrations coming in but there is still plenty of room for more.
Order the cookbook "Putting it up with Honey" runs about $15. It has several jam, jelly and preserves. It is full of canning with honey recipes.
If MAXANT was to build it in the $600 range and it worked like the rest of their stuff. There would be a market!
Just a veil and whatever work clothes I have on. But then again we only had 14 hives last year.

I can't tell you about the new ones but my son bought one last spring (he did not like mine because it was son powered not electric) that is over 22 years old. This one has the horizontal motor not...
You need to use dried fruit. I use freeze dried fruit powder, it lets you have a nice creamy texture. If you have your own fruit you should be able to dry it then grind it to a powder as fine as...
The one we use is one part beeswax, one part sweet almond oil and one part shea butter or coco butter. All by weight. Melt all together and pour into molds. If you want you can add an essential oil...

The video by the Honey Board is good for this age group. It really keeps their attention. Especially if you tell them that there will be a test at the end, and then ask 2 or 3 questions about the...

Not sure what 8oz. and 16oz. sell for. We get $5.00 for 12oz. plastic tubs. I belive we are on the low side as in KC I think they get $5.50-$6.00. With that being said we get $.42 per...
If you are doing infused honey it sounds like it would be good. If you are doing creamed/spun/whipped honey it is great. There is nothing better for breakfast than a sausage biscuit with jalapeno...
I was able to purchase some polarized film from a place in San Antonio TX. Not sure what their name was, Albrite-Allite something like that.
Does anyone know of any scholarships for beekeepers that are about to graduate high school? My daughter is looking for as many as she can find. She wants to be a Dentist. Thanks for any help. Jethro
Jordan on the how much to charge here are a few things to look at. Bee Culture and American Bee Journal both have honey market reports monthly for different regions. I have a flie that I input prices...
