[QUOTE="Bron, post: 11421, member: 59"] [USER=642]@Anaru[/USER] the advice to seek employment in the industry before starting your own business is good advice. if you can get someone who is a fair and honest employer who will teach you the stuff you don’t learn from books, you’ll find out if it’s really your passion. Ask around don’t just take the job, find out about their operation. There’s not too many beekeepers in it for the money at the moment! That’s if you get any. Do your apprenticeship first and then build up without borrowing a little at a time. A word of advice is to buy new gear. If it looks like a bargain, it probably isn’t. The bees will thank you later on, learn and make mistake so you’re ready when things are more stable. Right now it’s not the time. We run a lean operation with no staff, just family and a couple of reliable old 4x4s. No shiny stuff, just graft and long hours, and we’re hanging in there for the passion & the bees. Good luck [/QUOTE]
