I finally had my first meeting with 10 honey producers to discuss the merits of starting a honey cooperative. This will be my first foray into this world of business and I may just end up stumbling blindly through each process until and unless a number of angel helpers step in to guide my way. I am excited beyond measure or words. I think the potential for our success is enormous. Rasht Valley honey is, beyond a doubt in my mind, some of the BEST HONEY IN THE WORLD. And, according to a honey report I read today, "Demand continues to outweigh supply for honey in the world market. Prices remain very strong for all the available honey." Bee-ware world, here we come.
Do you have a good nectar source? Eucalyptus has a huge flow, year round, if there are any groves to put hives near...or is your climate too cold? hmmm...
ReplyDeleteHi Kim ... our honey is from a variety of wildflowers and fruit tree blossoms. Not a single Eucalyptus tree here at all, but I'd be curious to try honey from it. Our climate can get pretty cold, yes - lots of snow in the winter and the mountains. I'll have to post a general photo ... can't believe I haven't done that here yet.
ReplyDeleteAre you a honey producer?
