Thx Beeslave, For someone just getting started, who do you call? how do you find customers...

 

[jean-marc]

I don't. Hate it when the phone rings. Basically most customers are fairly loyal, so if they pay and acces is good and they don't complain more than me then it's all good. Every year the demand increases without trying. Most customers I find like the face to face contact, kinda like old school, none of this high tech internet nonsense.

Which crops in your area need pollinators? Go find farms that raise those crops and introduce yourself to the farmer. Even if he doesn't need your services he may know someone who will need it. You've got to get out and make things happen! Work will not come to you! If you need more yards then go ask! Most farm folks understand the need for bees and are happy to have them around.
