They went searching for copper and then found a real honeypot

I think I seen that as well. They were saying the price of honey is always good whereas price of milk fluctuates. The honey was keeping them ticking over in the bad times.

Did you go to one of these seminars then? I see the beginners guide is saying a lot of people just buy all the gear and buy a hive and dive right in, seemingly wrong way to go about it if you are starting out. Far better to go to beginner classes and maybe get a mentor, then you should start off with a young strong queen and slowly build it up. Basically you’ll get nothing out of it the first year except a bit of confidence in handling them and experience, then you’re ready to expand.

Fuck off with those Kevin McStay maxims. Honeypot ffs.

I hope you go ahead with this, it will be an intriguing story to follow.

Like any good SAAS model the proper pricing of the subscription is key and at approx 10 euro a month it offers decent value for what you get. Every year you manage to keep a subscriber the product becomes more valuable to that subscriber.

The value of the data itself is another story.

An auditors dream though. Paperwork as good as gone
