Life is full of little ironies. Last year I was on a podcast—and get this, the name of the podcast was Farm4Profit. They needed someone to do a segment on beekeeping, and somehow they found me. Apparently, they didn't know I have a blog called The Misfit Farmer, where I dispense questionable farming advice and mostly enumerate the many ways I've lost money farming, beekeeping being one of them. Instead, because I write for a beekeeping magazine, they thought I was a beekeeping expert, obviously having never read any of my articles, which would have quickly dispelled them of that belief. The point here, though, is I feel like I short-changed the nice guys at Farm4Profit (when they're not interviewing me, the podcast is very high-quality and I recommend it for anyone interested in agriculture). Admittedly, I was nervous, having never been on a podcast before, so I'd like to make it up to them by providing some surefire ways to turn a profit. The great news is I'm often too busy chasing swarms over the horizon to fool with paperwork, so I haven't filed for patents on any of these lucrative ideas yet. That means you're free to make millions off them without worrying about patent infringement. In fact, just a nice hand-written note and 10% royalty on sales for perpetuity is all I ask. So without further ado, I present your path to future fame and fortune (don't everyone rush to apply for Shark Tank all at once).
