How I make money from bees. Creative Beekeeping Income on Homestead.

I'm sharing how I make money from bees as a beekeeper without tons of hives. I took a creative approach, was able to quit my job and support myself through my beekeeping hobby.
It's important to have a plan to earn income on a homestead in your first year, and I could not count on honey sales to meet that, so I took my creative hobbies and found a way to make it work for me.
I go over the many ideas I've tried to earn money from bees, beyond selling honey, what works, what didn't and what is supporting me now.
I also go over goals for continuing beekeeping and expanding bees on my homestead, to continue to earn an income from the bees.
Here's a link to my online shop:

And my ebook I wrote on Crafty Beekeeping Ideas:

@@ColoradoMountainLiving and polite. My sister wants bees, but is so frantic about it, she isnt grasping the products, and product leaps you can do with it.. I may do this myself. 5 years from now.

Where bees keeping can be successful between forestry and dry lands

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Yes we have lots of wild flowers and open field. We also planted clover for them and will plant more.

hello I'm from Slovakia middle Europe ..

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Excellent! Welcome and thank you for coming over. Do you have bees?

[@desmondsimmons1436]

Stony Ridge Farmer suggest your post, enjoying your videos. Like your Ideals on additional income form beekeeping. Me and my Wife raise bees and make a fair amount of money selling honey. I am going to check out your e book.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Thank you! I hope to do a lot more with bees, but really not sure how hard it will be up in the mountains, such a short season for them. I've got one hive overwintering now and ordered a nuc for spring and might buy another off a woman up here, if hers survive the winter too.

[@hammondmiers3789]

This time I'll use woodprix instructions to make it by myself.

[@ColoradoMountainLiving]

Great idea! I'm thinking the same thing if I try a new style.
