How much does it cost to keep bees in the countryside and what are the costs?

Bee farming is a small investment and high income breeding project, especially suitable for rural farming in China's mountainous areas, in recent years has gradually become an effective way to make a fortune in rural areas, but in fact, many people do not understand the cost of beekeeping, let's take a look at how much it costs to raise bees in rural areas!

First, the cost of bee seeds

Bee species is the most important problem to be solved in beekeeping, the most convenient is to buy other people's bee colonies, but the bee colony is different from different bee species, for example, the bee is generally about 500 800 yuan a box, and the Italian bee is about 50 150 yuan a spleen (including the queen bee), but in the countryside, beekeeping is best to collect local wild bee colonies, on the one hand, it can greatly reduce the cost of bee breeding, on the other hand, the adaptability of local bee species to the natural environment is much stronger.

Second, the cost of bee equipment

Bee equipment is a necessary tool in beekeeping production, mainly beehives, nets, feeders, honey shakers, etc., the most important of which is the beehive (including the nest frame and the nest foundation), the current beehive is about 80 150 yuan or so, because the size of each part of the beehive has strict requirements, so it is recommended that you buy a finished beehive, and then use this beehive as a template to make your own, so that the cost of beekeeping can be reduced to a minimum.

Third, the cost of feed

Bee colonies need to be artificially fed in some special circumstances, in fact, feeding bees and cattle or pigs when feeding a truth, the difference is that the feed of bees is mainly honey, pollen and sugar, etc., among which white sugar is the most common in beekeeping production, because the ** of white sugar is relatively cheap, and the bee colony needs to feed for less time, so the cost of beekeeping (bees) spent on feed a year is actually very small.

Fourth, the cost of bee medicine

Bees can also get sick like other animals, and they have to be treated with drugs in time after they are sick**, but bees have a strong adaptability to the natural environment, and under normal circumstances, as long as they do a good job in disease prevention and control, bees are rarely sick, such as regularly cleaning up the wax shavings and dead bees inside the beehive, even if there is occasional disease, it does not use much medicine, so the components of beekeeping flowers on bee medicine are very small, almost negligible.

Summary: The cost of bee breeding is actually very small, and beekeeping also has the advantage of occupying a small labor cost, breeding bees in rural areas can be engaged in agricultural production in the busy season, and only need to use free time to manage the bee colony, so it is especially suitable for the development of breeding in rural areas as a sideline.

Bee equipment is a necessary tool in beekeeping production, mainly beehives, nets, feeders, honey shakers, etc., the most important of which is the beehive (including the nest frame and the nest foundation), the current beehive is about 80 150 yuan or so, because the size of each part of the beehive has strict requirements, so it is recommended that you buy a finished beehive, and then use this beehive as a template to make your own, so that the cost of beekeeping can be reduced to a minimum. Bee colonies need to be artificially fed in some special circumstances, in fact, feeding bees and cattle or pigs when feeding a truth, the difference is that the feed of bees is mainly honey, pollen and sugar, etc., among which white sugar is the most common in beekeeping production, because the ** of white sugar is relatively cheap, and the bee colony needs to feed for less time, so the cost of beekeeping (bees) spent on feed a year is actually very small.

Generally, it is about a few hundred yuan a box, but it is best to collect local wild bee colonies in rural beekeeping, which can greatly reduce the cost of bee breeding, and the adaptability of bee species to the natural environment is much stronger.

The Chinese bee is generally about 500 800 yuan a box, and the Italian bee is about 50 150 yuan a spleen (including the queen bee), but it is best to collect the local wild bee colony in rural beekeeping, on the one hand, it can greatly reduce the cost of bee breeding, and on the other hand, the adaptability of local bee species to the natural environment is much stronger.

The main purpose of beekeeping is to obtain honey and other bee products, China has begun beekeeping since the Shang Dynasty more than 3,000 years ago, and beekeeping has become the main economy of many professional beekeepers, and there are many beekeepers who have obtained good income through beekeeping, so let's take a look at whether beekeeping can earn 200,000 a year!

First, the cost of beekeeping

The cost of beekeeping is mainly composed of bee species, bee tools, bee medicine, feed, etc., among which bee species mainly include bees, Italian bees, etc., bee tools mainly have beehives, nest foundations, etc., bee medicines mainly contain mite drugs, nest insect drugs, etc., feed mainly includes sugar, pollen, etc., for example, the cost of raising a box of bees is about 700 yuan, and the cost of raising a box of Italian bees is about 300 yuan, and the cost of beekeeping from the second year is only bee medicine and feed.

2. Beekeeping income

The main purpose of beekeeping is to obtain honey, in fact, the sale of honey is also the most important income of beekeeping**, but the yield of different bee species of honey is also very different, for example, a box of bees can only produce 5 15 catties of honey a year, and the price of honey per catty is about 100 200 yuan, and a box of Italian bees can produce 100 200 catties of honey a year, and the selling price (wholesale price) of each catty of Italian honey is about 10 20 yuan.

3. Beekeeping profits

The profit of a box of bees in the first year is about 800 yuan (10 catties * 200 yuan - 700 yuan), and the profit from the second year can reach 1400 yuan (there is no need to buy bee seeds and bee tools in the second year), and the profit of a box of bees in the first year is about 1925 yuan (150 catties * 15 yuan - 300 yuan), and the profit from the second year can reach 2025 yuan (the same reason), so the bees need to raise about 140 boxes if they want to earn 200,000 yuan, and the bees need to raise about 100 boxes.

Fourth, benefit analysis

1. Bee species: The benefits of beekeeping vary depending on the bee species, for example, the honey production of the fixed bees is low but the honey price is high, while the honey production of the Italian bees chasing flowers and honey is high but the honey price is very low.

2. Climate: The benefits of beekeeping vary depending on the climate, for example, continuous rainy days during the honey flow period will inevitably affect the honey production, in fact, beekeeping can be said to be dependent on the weather to a large extent.

This needs to be based on personal circumstances, some people have a relatively large scale of beekeeping, and they must be relatively smooth, and may earn 200,000.

It is possible to earn 200,000 yuan a year for two points of beekeeping; On the one hand, it is related to the varieties selected by the bees, on the other hand, it is also related to whether the honey can be harvested better in the breeding process, of course, it is also directly and closely related to some geographical conditions and natural conditions, and it also has a more important relationship with the honey of the year.

Yes, the main thing is that if your customer is a senior customer, you can apply for a membership card and successfully earn.

It is possible to earn so much, and the survival rate of beekeeping is related to the scale of beekeeping.

Beekeeping has always been called "sweet business, in the eyes of many laymen beekeeping is a very easy thing, but in fact it is not, the development of beekeeping not only requires high technology, but also in the case of climate discomfort may not harvest or even lose money, let's take a look at how much beekeepers can make a year!

1. There are differences in bee species

China's breeding is more common in bees and bees, bees are mostly fixed-point breeding, management is relatively simple, a group of normal years produce about 10 20 pounds of honey a year, fortunately in honey.

The ** is relatively high, a box of bees has about 2,000 yuan a year, and the workload of the bee chasing flowers and honey is much larger, a group of people in normal years produce more than 100 pounds of honey a year, ** is relatively low, and the breeding efficiency is basically the same after deducting the cost of feeding and the bee.

Second, the climate is different from place to place

Climate is the beekeeper is most concerned, whether it is a fixed point breeding bees or chasing flowers and honey bees need a suitable climate to obtain high yields, if in the big honey period to catch up with the continuous rainy days basically no grain harvest, feed consumption is less and there is a honey storage bee is better, the bees at this time not only no honey is desirable, but also need a lot of feeding, otherwise the bee colony will starve to death, if several large honey periods in a year have encountered this situation, then this year can barely keep the capital is good.

3. Honey ** differences

The main product of bees is honey, and the honey produced by bees is called medium honey and soil honey.

The honey produced by Italian bees can be divided into acacia honey and linden honey according to different nectar sources.

Jujube nectar, etc., under normal circumstances, the ** of honey is higher than that of honey, and the yield of honey is low, and it is easier to sell it, and the output of honey is very high, and the market is a big problem.

Fourth, the technology is high and low

Beekeeping is an out-and-out technical work, skilled people beekeeping and unskilled people beekeeping are completely different things, skilled people know how to make bees before the arrival of the big honey season, some bee farmers can even make a small transfer to chase flowers and honey, the honey source is rich and the climate is suitable for a box of bees can produce 20 30 pounds of honey, and people without technology raise a bee colony for a year and burn high incense, so technology is also the decisive factor in determining whether beekeepers can make money.

Fifth, the scale of breeding is different

The number of bee colonies varies from one year to the economic benefit of beekeeping.

Definitely different, but not the more bee colonies, the better, on the one hand, the manpower is limited, on the other hand, the nectar source is limited, the bee fixed point when a site is no more than 40 boxes of bees, otherwise the bee colony will have no honey to collect, but these bee colonies are still consuming honey every day, resulting in a decrease in the total honey production, and the same is true for the bees chasing flowers and honey, once the maximum threshold of the nectar source is exceeded.

This, on the contrary, will reduce the total honey production.

Summary: How much money beekeepers can make a year is not determined, in addition to technical factors, especially the impact of climate is the most obvious, in a good year to develop beekeeping can make a fortune, but if the climate is not right, you may work in vain for a year or even lose your money.

It can probably earn about 450,000 yuan a year;How much money is made has a certain relationship with the bee species, climate, honey, and marketing methods.

There is no conclusion on how much money beekeepers can make a year, in addition to technical factors, especially the impact of climate is the most obvious, in a good year to develop beekeeping can make a fortune, but if the climate is uncomfortable, you may work in vain for a year or even lose your money.

It may be millions, but it is generally based on the quality, according to the people you serve, and there is a difference.

The cost of raising a box of bees is about 300 yuan. Among them, the purchase of beehives.

About 120 yuan, calculated according to the life of more than ten years, the depreciation cost of the beehive needs to be calculated as 12 yuan, and the depreciation cost of making the nest frame.

For 6 yuan, the purchase cost of bee colony is about 100-150 yuan, and the cost of other bee equipment is about 30 yuan.

According to the current market**, the cost of raising a group of bees is about 200 250 yuan, and 100 boxes of bees need about 20000 25000. Among them, it costs about 100 yuan to buy a beehive, but the beehive generally has a long service life. In addition, the annual depreciation cost of making the nest frame is 5 yuan, and the purchase fee of the bee colony is 80 120 yuan, etc.

As for the profit of bee farming, it should be determined according to the output of bee farming, the number of collected bees in the colony, the number of nectar flower sources, the distance between the hive and the flower source, and the influence of the weather will affect the output of the bee colony. If there is a bumper harvest, a box is about 100 catties, and there is no upper limit, and the honey market is very expensive, about 100 250 yuan.

Therefore, 100 boxes of bees can produce about 1,000 catties of honey a year, and according to today's market, the profit can reach about 100,000 a year. Of course, the profit of beekeeping has a lot to do with the region, there is a lot of randomness, and there is a lot of luck, just like gambling. If the nectar source outside is not good, it will be miserable, and you may have to feed sugar, or the tens of thousands of bees will starve to death.

Therefore, the benefits of bee farming must be analyzed according to the actual local situation.

The most expensive cost of beekeeping is labor, followed by bee species and beehives.
