Has anyone checked out the price of invert.?
From £10.25 to £14.50 for 14 kg.
Brexit is blamed ...but a 40% jump?
Everything seems to be going up and not surprising with sterling so weak.
Anyone underpricing their honey must be mad.
Forgeting time and effort, I have kept accounts for hmrc this last five years.
I make my own frames and build supers from flat packs.
I do have a stainless uncapping system and 12 frame centrifuge
I have thirty hives, 3/4 poly.
I feed invert for autumn.
I have an out apiary 14 miles away
I keep mileage costs.
I am running a rolled up loss of £14,000.
From £5 a lb when i strated I am now £6 for 12 oz and £7.50 for 12 oz from my out apiary mountain hives.
And I sell out.
As I said, time is not costed. But my accounts are accurate and to break even I know I should be charging more as people are prepared to pay for good honey.
