How do you turn 5 beehives into 150+ colonies without purchasing another hive? How do you balance a sideliner/small commercial operation with a day job?
We began beekeeping in 2013, with 5 hives, and through sustainable practices have increased our operation to 245 colonies while working full time. The Canadian prairie model is very different than many other countries, as we do not receive any income from pollination contracts, nearly all beekeepers on the prairies are strictly honey producers. Luckily in Manitoba our provincial average is 155lbs per hive, but this creates many new challenges and a load of heavy, hard work.
We are Josh and Kayla, beekeepers from Manitoba, Canada, welcome to our journey!
