Cost Analysis of Bee Keeping Models

The document compares part-time and full-time bee keeping operations. A part-time operation would involve 5 bee colonies with a capital expenditure of $34,250 and net income of $3,618. A full-time operation with 100 colonies would require $653,750 in capital but yield a net income of $117,638. The largest expenses are bee hives and attendant salaries, while honey sales make up most of the gross income. Full-time bee keeping with 200 colonies and over $1 million in capital expenditure could generate a net income of $223,330.
