Can you talk more about your process for finding apiary locations?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Will make a video on it 😊👍🏻

Hi I love how you put all this in the picture....please read my comments....I work for a beekeeper and I want to start my own business. Am scared to leave as we are like family but I need something of my own to support my kids because getting a job is slim these days. I need an advisor ❤❤❤

[@rickwarner516]

So true storage is key to keeping bees. Thankfully I’m at the winter of life and just keeping bees for health and enjoyment plus keeps the flowers blooming. The real challenge is keeping them to just two hives. Always looking for someone that’s interested in keeping bees and learning more. This information is so important and remember that honey is a sweet way to bless people

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Absolutely 🍯

Great video by the way I would also say as well as save money save honey protect your market keep a surplus I keep a ton back to keep a regular supply to best outlets. Ps it was great to meet you at the south west bee farmers meeting.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Great point! May need to add that point in another video. Run out of honey….lose your customers. Likewise thanks for the warm welcome from you all. 😊

Back in 1831 cènsus Canada my Father was listed as a Bee Farm. He had 500 colonies.

[@patthe14th]

Hi Gwenyn, after you took the plunge last year and went full time into the bees, do you ever regret it. I would love to do it but just don't think I could make a full time living from bees even I would love to. It's just it so hard to sell honey and price is lowish for the work hours.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

I don’t regret it. But working a job would be a lot easier and a lot less stressful

[@eastsussexbeesandwildlife5801]

Thanks for the video, best wishes, Peter.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Thanks Peter 😊

What’s with the weather you’re looking warm in a cold place. Slow and steady wins. Looking forward to seeing you perhaps in April after walking across England 😂😂😂.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Weather has been really nice for the last 2 days. Torrential rain today though!! 🌧 😂 England is a big place to walk!

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Not far then! 😂😂

[@arthurkinderman6149]

nice video how many hives do you recommend per apiary

[@gwenyngruffydd]

For me it’s 16-20

[@brunoquelhas8786]

A farm where you have flowers all year around would be the ideal place to have a permanent bee farm.

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Sure would be! 😊👍🏻

[@alfredoparrilla9508]

Hi, I don't want a bee farm. I just want to make a bee hive trap inside a big greenhouse. But I need info to know if it's viable

Great video. very valid regards environmental health. In Cornwall they will come out for an hours business advice for about £80, worth every penny, gets them involed and on side. P.s. you could of used this video for getting into farming😂

[@gwenyngruffydd]

That’s definitely money well spent!! Ha! Your right farming is farming whatever the livestock!

[@BWORKZ_SouthWales]

Great video 👍🏻

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Thanks 😊

[@davidmcdowell-Rowantree-Honey]

Do you make all your own equipment?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

No, buy them in kit form

[@davidmcdowell-Rowantree-Honey]

@@gwenyngruffydd Do you claim the hives and equipment back through the business?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

@davidmcdowell2984 yes of course

I’m in Louisiana and interested in beekeeping. I’ll go to starting the beekeeping! Anybody help me out with bees and queen bee. ❤ 🐝

[@komzatonHC]

How does bee farming affect the bee population?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

It improves it 😊

[@bhgdetjbngfd]

For the last three years I've lost my bees over the winter. This year they looked strong but then between one day and the next they were gone. Loads of food in there but not a bee in sight

[@gwenyngruffydd]

That’s very strange

[@ruthrobb4406]

The date should be 1931

[@boamahmarcus4002]

No, I am not a bee keeper

[@thegeniusofthecrowd354]

Could you run a viable bee business on 5 acres just using your own land?

[@gwenyngruffydd]

Hi, you’ll need to spread your bees over a much larger area than that. Most of my bees are on other peoples land

[@thegeniusofthecrowd354]

@@gwenyngruffydd Fook! Cheers mate!

[@gwenyngruffydd]

5 acres would make a great base though. Plenty of space for sheds and containers

[@thegeniusofthecrowd354]

@@gwenyngruffydd I was thinking about growing cut flowers on it and keeping bees. Which broker are you using to buy stocks? Read "Insider Trade Superstocks" by Jesse Stine. Best book on stock trading ever written.

I use Freetrade 😊
