    Simple words ... very hard work.

    I extracted honey a month ago. Over the weekend I shifted a ton of supers about - off the hives, into the car, into the warming room, to the extractor etc. The novelty soon wore off. The thought of having to do that to earn a living does not appeal.

    In principle beekeeping is simple, in practice it's complicated - Google is probably right in this case.

    Bycan, apart from what others have already said: where do you live? Somewhere in the Scottish Highlands, far away from cultivated land? I don't know what the rules for producing verified organic honey are, but I think it would probably include something like being in the centre of a three or four mile radius of pesticide-free land.
