I might also add that, labour aside, once a beekeeper has got the equipment (suit, hives, extractor etc.), the only cost is varroa treatments, foundation and a few other sundries. Once a beekeeper has all this, it's just money for old rope really.

on that basis Nissan must have covers the cost of their factory by now so should start knocking out qashqis for 5k each
I don’t expect to make any money from beekeeping if I can cover my costs over 5 years I will consider it a massive saveing on say golf but…..
perhaps if beekeepers made a few quid from selling honey then more of them might be inclined to spend some of it on buying vhs bread queens rather than relying on home bread mongrels
