RE: To Bee Or Not To Bee ~ A Prepper Gift
I attended a three-day beekeeping training during one of my expeditious and impulsive moments in life lol! I was able to finish it and decided to advance but then stopped. Maybe I should go ahead with it. Beekeeping is one of the industries that is growing here. It was one of the easiest way for others to go abroad and find beekeeping jobs. It pays high especially in New Zealand and Canada. It was also one of the reasons I signed up for the training. I had lots of visions then.
So, goats.
Goat meat is one of the popular meat that is cooked here and there are different menus you can cook out of it. They also provide goat milk and make goat cheese. However, I haven't tried goat milk and goat cheese yet.
I really should do a more serious post on the beekeeping. I am glad to hear the industry is growing in your area. A while back the bees were quickly disappearing here. There were even start up grants handed out to encourage beekeeping.
I don't think goat meat is used in my area much at all. I have encountered the cheese. What I do enjoy is a wonderful handmade soap from goat milk. I still don't think I want my own goat 🐐
There were programs by the local government a few years back to teach backyard beekeeping and encourage it here. However, many of those who were given free training went abroad instead. I am glad though that some of those who went abroad and gained experience are coming back home and applying what they have learned. There are now different training centers and beekeepers here.
I haven't tried soap from goat milk even. I think we depend more on the meat than anything else lol!
