Honey, the way I get rid of it

摘要

I have always loved beekeeping. Assembling equipment, installing packages, requeening, hiving swarms, worrying about mites, and processing the honey crop are aspects of beekeeping that I have always enjoyed. However, I must confess that a major partof beekeeping that has not interested me is marketing honey. I don't feel like a beekeeper when I am trying to determine what style of jar in which to bottle my honey or how to pack candles so they won't scuff when handled. These tasks, and all the others like them, have nothing to do with beekeeping per se but someone must do them if honey is to be sold. (I know. I know. These tasks really are a part of beekeeping, but they don't feel like beekeeping to me. They feel like marketing.)
