First, the investment cost of beekeeping.
The cost of bee breeding mainly includes bee seeds, tools, feed, bee medicine and so on. Among them, the number of bee species (Chinese bees) is about 500 ~ 600 yuan, and tools (beehives, nest foundations, etc. ) is about 100 yuan, and the feed and bee medicine of a box of bees are generally not more than that of 30 yuan (the feed is mostly white sugar, which is mainly fed during the wintering period). Generally speaking, the cost of a box of bees is around 630 yuan.
Second, the analysis of beekeeping profit
The profit of bee breeding mainly comes from honey, but there are many uncertain factors in honey. For the convenience of calculation, we all take the average value. The output is calculated according to the annual output of honey 10 kg (a box of honey is about 5- 15 kg), and the sales price is calculated according to per kg 150 yuan (200 yuan honey is about 100 kg).
Third, the output affects the benefit.
Honey yield is one of the two main factors that affect the profit of beekeeping, and there are two main factors that affect honey yield (for the sake of understanding, China bees are still taken as an example). One is that if it encounters continuous rainy and windy days during the main honey flow period, it will affect the honey production of that year. The other is that the skills of beekeepers are high and low. Some people may not even have 5 kilograms of honey in a box. Technically, they can produce more than 20 kilograms of honey a year by adopting fixed-point assembly and small-scale beekeeping.
Fourth, the price affects the benefit.
The price of honey is another major factor affecting the profit of beekeeping. Here, in order to make it easier for everyone to understand, we also take China bees as an example. The honey produced by bees in China is called China honey, which is actually what people often say. The price range of honey in China is very wide, ranging from 100 yuan per catty to 200 yuan and even 300 yuan. The main reason is that the output is too scarce to supply the market on a large scale like Italian honey, which leads to its price being affected by the region.
The Influence of verb (abbreviation of verb) Technology on Benefit
The annual income of keeping a box of bees is about 1500 yuan. When keeping bees at designated places, one person can manage 30-50 boxes of bees (Chinese bees), which means that the annual profit can reach 45-75 thousand yuan. But in fact, there are very few beekeepers who can make this kind of profit. In addition to the source of climate honey, the technology of beekeepers is also a decisive factor. Therefore, it is suggested that people who want to keep bees must not be too radical.
Note: the economic benefits of bee breeding are really attractive in theory, but in fact, not many people make money by beekeeping, because any problems in weather (climate), geographical location (honey source) and technology will seriously affect the economic benefits of beekeeping!
