Hi steemians! Ola everyone!

If you want to be glamorous be in everthing that you do.

Now, I want to share with you my previous homesteading business in honey bee production.

All of this are pure honey bee.

Something worth doing is worth overdoing well.

So from wild, it's very hard to place it in a box wherein the honey bee will be extracted.

This is the honey bee raw from box.

The product..

At first, bottletop is a piece of plastic intacted by rubberband but this is not suggested cause cockroaches always trying to get inside..

So I must come up with a solid bottletop then I use the real bottletop.

But the bottle is fragile and it happens that upon delivering the orders to customer some are cracked and some got broken. So I come up with a plastic bottle with a seal on it.

So it must be presentable to my buyers.

First set was being sold to my friends only until one day I have a relatives on the other province wanted to resell it. The reason why I need to seal it.

And here it come..

For now, we where trying to came up again with this business but bee's really need to have high maintenance and the only person on home is my mother..since I got employed here in city..

Maybe by next year we will start this again..

Wait for my next post on BREAD making homestead.

Hi correctdrop, wow! Im very thankful to have you commenting here and will definitely do the same.. actually Im your follower too.. your comment was really highly appreciates by me.. :) wanna say thank thank thank you!

Awesome pictures and explanation of how your honey packaging evolved.
WHy don't you try training a local friend or neighbor to help out your mom?
Is it hard to find people to trust?
Can you figure out HOW MUCH your bees need to produce, to hire an employee?

Hi peachbody, Im trying to train my cousins as well but they are lazy not knowing that it is much better to be in a business rather than being employee..

Honey bee production is seasonal that needs me to be employed as well and it happens that I got hired to where I applied here in metro.. and I dont want also to teach my mama cause I want her to sit in a place that dont need to work I dont want her to get tired and be sting by a bee.. sometimes bees are aggressive and even you have a suit they will force theirselves to enter just to sting you.. it happens most of the time.. bee farmers know that..

I frequently come home (in bataan) if its my restday.. that is weekly and I catching up to have training in field.. we conducting training to farmers how to avoid pests in their palay production and that is only a charity work..

Btw, my mothers hobby is to water the plants and flowers we have haha.. so I want her to be happy in that way.

Maybe if I came up with a fund Ill start bread and bee business.. as well as the honesteading of grapes cause I have the knowledge now thru research.. have a good day!

It's great to know that you are doing volunteer work on top of all this homesteading PLUS a regular job... I really appreciate your detailed answers.

My own focus in homesteading is planting trees and agr-forestry!! Keep up the amazing work, I will make sure to keep reading your posts!!
