Did you notice that say they will remove swarms of both honey and bumble bees?Originally Posted by Nellie
If you're seriously thinking of offering a honey extraction service then you might consider the people in my BKA who have bought their own extractors rather than hire a club one at £1 a day, because they reckoned their petrol money would be recouped in next to no time and, if they choose to sell it on, second hand prices are quite high. The club extractors are, currently, housed at the north of the area. For those living in the south the round trip is about 100 miles, so double that to collect and return an extractor.
The only people I know who do more than break even from beekeeping-related activities are those with hundreds or thousands of hives, people who offer private lessons to newcomers and those who raise and sell stock. It might be different in your area.
I think that offering a service which saves people time and effort might only appeal to those with spare cash and not enough spare time. Would you also offer collection and return?
